Take the poll!
I was: [spoiler]Leo.
You’re the backbone of your group of close friends and colleagues. You’re a rare mix of empathetic and stern. You don’t have time for disloyalty or selfishness, but you are always willing to listen and give people a second chance (if they deserve it). You inspire absolute loyalty and respect in people, never shirk on your responsibilities, and remain levelheaded and cool in the face of conflict.[/spoiler]
Josh Lyman:
You’re as charming as you are clever — and you’re very clever. You tend to talk a big game, but behind that bravado, you’re a humble and idealistic team player. People are drawn to your confidence and eloquence, and you have no problem being in the spotlight. You can easily win people over to your side, which makes you a powerful ally and a dangerous enemy.
Danny Concannon
You’re the epitome of a quick-witted charmer. You’re off-kilter humor sometimes makes people forget that you’re sharp as a tack, intellectually and emotionally perceptive, and tenacious. Yes, you’re usually the first to crack a joke, but you’re also the first to crack a story. You’re very good at getting what you want in life through honesty and personal networking, and you don’t back down from a challenge.
Nope, not me at all.
You got: Charlie Young
You’re the quiet, brilliant person hanging out on the fringes of the crowd. You avoid the spotlight at all costs and prefer to stay within your comfort zone, but you’re also more than capable of rising to a challenge. You’re trusting but not gullible, a realistic optimist, and incredibly brave. Your tenacity is often overshadowed by your quiet dedication, but you know how to seize an opportunity. Your natural intuition serves you well both professionally and personally.
Me too.
Me too. Pretty accurate, actually.
Another Charlie. You know that’s right.
Apparently I’m Jed Bartlet.
“You’re a charismatic, natural-born leader. You believe in serving the greater good at all costs, which is why you often find it difficult to wait for results. You’re incredibly intelligent and usually ahead of the pack, and you don’t have patience for people who can’t quickly catch up. You can be prone to mood swings, but those are usually just a result of you caring too much for a person or cause. You have a heart of gold, an unparalleled wit, a group of close friends, and a large circle of acquaintances (all of whom find you positively magnetic).”
That’s not entirely unlike me…
I got Danny Concannon, too. I would have picked Toby. So would my friends. All of them.
Ha! I’m the Leader of the Free World ™!
You got: President Jed Bartlet

You got: Abbey Bartlet
You’re a no-nonsense pistol. You have a brilliant mind, a strong and magnetic presence, and zero time for hesitance. You always stick to your guns and you always protect the people close to you. You can be a shock to people who are used to shrinking violets, but people respect your zeal, commitment, and ability to act quickly and decisively. You can also be warm and nurturing when the occasion calls for it, and behind all that passion, you enjoy taking on the role of caretaker.
Apparently I am Leo. I really don’t think so. If anyone, I would have though Toby, or conceivably Josh (and in reality I would not last a second in that sort of environment, in the very unlikely event I ever got into it).
Actually, although I used to be an avid viewer when it was in first run, it is so long since I saw the show that I do not recognize (or remember very little about) several of the characters depicted. Once W. ceased to president, the show lost all relevance for me. It was really just a liberal fantasy of what it would be like to have a “proper” president.
Sam Seaborn. That’s about right.
Leo McGarry:
You’re the backbone of your group of close friends and colleagues. You’re a rare mix of empathetic and stern. You don’t have time for disloyalty or selfishness, but you are always willing to listen and give people a second chance (if they deserve it). You inspire absolute loyalty and respect in people, never shirk on your responsibilities, and remain levelheaded and cool in the face of conflict.
…fair enough, but I wear better suits.
I got Leo, too.
I’d like to think that describes me, but I certainly shirk my responsibilities more than that description would lead you to believe.
ETA: And I wish that I didn’t look like a pile of dirty clothes when I wore a suit.
The show ran from 1999-2006. George W. Bush was still President then.
I have never watched *West Wing *and know nothing about the show. But that didn’t stop me from becoming C.J. CREGG.
You’re the definition of approachable coolness. You’re a total pro when it comes to your job, and have the rare ability to defuse tense situations with intelligent humor. You’re quick-witted, empathetic, and you don’t mince words. You can stand your ground without becoming confrontational, and while you rarely create conflict, you don’t back down from it. You’re very loyal and value honesty above all. And obviously, no one does “The Jackal” like you.
Pretty accurate.
Well, I got Sam Seaborn!
Lucky. I wanted CJ. Although Josh is a good second, and is kinda accurate…
I don’t have to take the survey- I’m whichever cardboard, one-dimensional conservative character they have on each week to be routed and humiliated by Aaron Sorkin’s wit.
