Well it’s over. I missed the first 20 minutes, why was Mac trying to get ERA passed and how did it get through Congress if Templeton opposed it?

Anyhow, C-in-C could have been a great series, but it was flawed from the start. A presidential candidate picking someone outside their party as a running-mate? Not likely and would they even be able to be listed on the same ballot in all states? It would have been much more beliavable if she had been a Rockefeller Republican. Is the idea of non-evil Republicans that hard for Hollywood to write? Also she was supposed to have problems with the Republicans _and_ the Democrates, yet they where barely mentioned. Templeton was so over the top as a villian I half-expected him to tie Mac to railroad tracks. I very much doubt ABC is going to greenlight a TV-movie.

Wait, it’s cancelled? A few weeks ago rumor had it that they were picking between keeping this show and Invasion, and CIC won.

The Democrats did get to roofie the First Gentleman’s drink at a party.
