Of course the handsome, ethical come from behind candidate is a manipulative creep who will probably win the nomination.

I had to rewatch that scene about three times to finally get what they were going for, because yes, I assume all politicians have some kind of agenda and are looking for an angle with the press, so I'm not sure it was the shocking reveal they were hoping for.  

That being said, I enjoy this show.  Yes, there are way too many personal plotlines and they're moving through them way too quickly.  And yes, none of the political intrigue storyline are all that intriguing.  But the cast is likeable and really trying, so I'm going to stick with it until its probable cancelation a few weeks after this season's finale.  

Plus, I've loved Scott Foley since I was sixteen and he was on Felicity, so as long as he's on it, I'll watch.

No surprises in the last episode.  As soon as I saw Scott Foley in that role early on I figured he wasn't going to be a good guy. When all is said and done it's just a soap opera with a female agenda, but I liked it and hope they bring it back. The spirit of Hunter S Thompson annoyed me but I've always like Griffin Dunne and if that nonsense serves to keep him around I can live with it.
