For the USA, I get why, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and whatnot, but I really think there's value in the restrictions that other countries have in place: no reporting from polling stations while any are still open, etc.

Dammit. I already had a bit of a sad day and when we got to the end, here I am....crying at the end of another West Wing episode. I'm reading "What's Next", the West Wing book and I was sitting at a bus stop getting started because I was teary eyed over the loss of John then too.

I love... Foo Fighters. That sums up what I love most about this episode, the playfulness of the writing and the timing of the performances. The madhouse of the previous episode is gone, and there remains this buzz of excitement you can feel as soon as the door opens for Donna and everyone is already awake. The shot of Josh walking outside, standing still for a moment... and then letting his shoulders fall is burned into my memory. He's spent every moment of the last year working on this, he wants it more than anything, and he just has to wait and see if it was enough. I know Lawrence O'Donnell worked on a lot of these episodes, and there had to have been others with campaign experience who worked with him for this amount of heart to come through.

Finally realised where I recognised Teddy (the guy giving the weather updates etc) from. He was the singer/informant in Dexter!

Foo Fighters rock. This was a really fun episode honestly. It descends into chaos but it was so watchable. I can't wait for part 2.

I've been voting for the better part of 3 decades and not once have I ever been approached by a pollster or even notice someone polling people as they exit. Where do these numbers come from?

I've always loved how Bruno and Josh mirror each other all throughout the campaign banking on understanding what the other is thinking and then they both focused on the same things they're seeing in this episode. It shows just how good they both are - how good Bruno really is, how good Josh always has been. Will and Kate are definitely a quirky couple and I loved seeing a little bit of Charlie here. I like that the show gives us a look at the ending of an administration and a campaign. It's bittersweet on both sides as well as the beginning of a new administration.

I remember the shere panic rising, throat closing up the first time I saw this episode, and Annabeth goes into Leo's room. You know it's inevitable, you know it's now, and you are just devastated and stressed out, how long she takes finding him, the waiting and suspense... and you also start thinking about how the Kristine Cehnoweth must have felt while that scene was being taken, thinking about John Spencer's passing... (also, how the other actors must have felt when they were acting their own reactions shots next episode, I think this is not much of a spoiler... must feel really tough.)

This campaign so predicted the 2008 one that I spent election night that year convinced (now Former President) Biden was going to die.

John

I haven't seen the end of this episode since my Father passed away. The way Annabeth finds Leo is eerily similar to the way I found my Father. I had to walk away for a couple minutes.

I was going to try to wait until next week and watch both reactions back to back, and that lasted for about ten seconds. What’s astounding about the death of John Spencer is while you’ll see the characters grieve, they as actors were doing so in the weeks leading up to this. A couple of episodes back where Annabeth is singing about Leo while walking to the airplane hanger, she had already sung at his funeral and managed to get through the scene. The cast is amazing.

I bet it was impossible. I can't wait to see it. He's impacted this show so greatly. He will always be Leo to me
