"Tonight, what began at the Commons in Concord, Massachusetts as an alliance of farmers and workers, of cobblers and tinsmiths, of statesmen and students, of mothers and wives, of men and boys, lives two centuries later as America! My name is Josiah Bartlet, and I accept your nomination for the Presidency of the United States!"

After the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) in 1968, it has been the policy of the United States Secret Service to protect all those who are running for the Offices of President, and Vice-President. But, whoever on the Democratic Party does not get nominated for the Democratic ticket, loses Secret Service, unless he/she runs as Independent, or any other party.

Paul nor yoko certainly haven't & compared to today's musicians no one on the butters remotely could play or sing let alone write music.

What did john or even ringo contribute?

Obviously Bartlet is a fictional character, but man it’s just absolutely incredible that he’s willing to give up a pivotal moment of his career, of his life, sacrificing his future, all so that a friend of his wouldn’t have to be alone during a difficult time. Actually scratch that; Bartlett and Josh weren’t even friends at this point! But he was willing to pause his entire life just to be there for someone.

I was fortunate to have that kind of special dad for 90 years. I’ve missed him for 5 years, but the memories are what lives forever.

Yep me too, and still gives me goosebumps. That image of Bartlet and Leo walking through the airport over his triumphant nomination speech is one of the most beautiful pieces of television I've ever seen.

Best written, produced, and acted show, ever! It speaks to humanity, the messiness of it, and the core of what we, as humans, are supposed to be doing-helping one another. TWW reminds us how far off-track we are in 2020. Thank you Aaron, et al.

Such a great scene. Bartlet was such an asshole to his staff in this episode, it made me wonder why they have so much respect for him during the first season. This scene served to show you that.

And it was there, in that airport, that Josh became Bartlett’s son. As one candle is lit by the melted stub of another, so one father takes on the lost son of another man fallen, and holds him close til his time runs out...

I love that this is kind of the moment in this episode where Bartlet becomes the POTUS we’ve known the whole time after all the flashbacks where he was slightly off his game.

When you know the show so we'll you can tell which episode/scene it is simply by the thumbnail... But you watch it like it's the 1st time.

I just watched something that ranked the West Wing as the 20th the best show on television. Apparently someone doesn’t know how to do the math. I read the shows that they listed ahead of it. I can’t tell you how many times I said I didn’t see it didn’t see it didn’t see it didn’t see it. Maybe I watched an episode of some thing here and there because I walked into a room when it was on. But I’m sorry 20th. You are sadly mistaken. The writing was first rate. The acting was outstanding from Martin to Bradley to everyone else, but mostly to my beloved John Spencer, God rest his soul Leo was everything. There is a time in the series when Jed says “Leo, it should’ve been you“. When I see clips like this, there isn’t any other television show series movie whatever that reached the human heart on such a consistently high level as the West wing dead every week

"...and I'll never make you think I don't again." Bartlett knew. He knew he wasn't going with Josh. He new he wasn't going to miss the prime time speech. He knew about Leo and the booze and the drugs. He knew he had MS. He knew. He came for Josh.

This scene is great because its Josh and Bartlett at their most quintessential at odds with each other not because either is doing something wrong but they both want to do a different right thing.

I wish they would have shown the last scene with josh awakening from surgery, and president bartlett standing over him. The way it’s framed makes me imagine his father telling josh that he loves him. But, it’s not his time to go. There are those that love and need him

The line "I'm ready" is a reference to earlier in the episode when Josh asked Abbey why her husband was being an asshole to everyone. Abbey told Josh that her husband was scared. He only got into the race to raise some issues. He wasn't ready to accept that he won the nomination, against all odds.

In the flashback between Jed and Leo, Bartlet: Does it matter that I'm not as sure? Leo: Nah. Act as if ye have faith and faith shall be given to you. Put it another way, fake it till you make it.

What a great scene, 2 actors at their very best. Not that I would ask Sorkin to change anything but if I did, I often think that in this scene there is a small window in which Bartlet is neither a Governor (he's a full-time candidate) nor the Democratic candidate (he has not claimed the nomination yet). So when Josh turns to get on the flight, in my head he says, "thanks Jed"...
