It's election day, and the President is going to win handily. The pundits give credit to the President's stellar performance during his one and only debate with Republican challenger Robert Ritchie. The staff is jubilant -- except Sam, whose promise to a grieving widow may come back to haunt him if Aristotle has his way. Donna, who accidentally misvoted on her absentee ballot, stakes out a polling place to convince a Republican to swap votes with her.

CJ:  Good evening, Mr. President.

Bartlet:  I feel like I should be self-deprecating.  I mean, it's not the inauguration, I can be funny, right?  I don't think so.  I think it's the wrong tone.  If I'm thanking campaign staff maybe.  What are you doing?

CJ:  We've got some news.

Bartlet:  What?  What?

Leo:  You're gonna win New Hampshire.
