betsyboo December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 Tomorrow You are right and I am wrong.....not something I say easily-I changed my post and Betsyboo, you should too....altho I am still having trouble with spoiler tags for a series that has (sadly) been off the air this long. Funny to realize that Santos would already be out of office and Sam, after serving 2 terms in the House, would likely be VP or something like that. Josh and Donna's kid would be 4 or 5 by now, altho Zoe and Charlie's would just be a new born. What have I started. HA! i love that I told everyone else to spoiler tag it but included it in my orig response. GAH. am blaming it on holiday rush! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/33865-six-degrees-of-the-west-wing/page/2/#findComment-1802808
