 The Democratic convention begins in a symphony of chaos and division; Leo demands that a nominee be chosen by the end of the second day at the very latest. While delegates cast multiple rounds of ballots on live TV, Josh, Donna, Will, and the candidates themselves work the phones frantically behind the scenes to convince delegates to change their votes. The President is furious at the revelation of the secret military space shuttle, and demands that the White House find the source of the leak both as a matter of principle and in order to minimize political fallout. The FBI launches their own leak investigation, while Bartlet ponders ordering the controversial shuttle to rescue the astronauts.
