5.  Quite a few of you are complaining about the quality of the writing. Jander is especially vocal: "Should the new writers be fired, tarred and feathered, forced to eat their scripts and taken out and shot?" So the question is, have you noticed a big difference in the quality of the storylines or the dialogue since Sorkin left the show?

6.  Doug G wonders if you find the show has taken a turn towards the right since Sorkin left. He sites stay-at-home moms and school vouchers as examples. I see his point but is that a bad thing? I find that the left and the right are both half correct. I like it when the show promotes doing the right thing regardless of what political ideology that particular solution might be associated with. You?

Go back to promoting only liberal policies		#		%

I like the bipartisan approach

7.  Jander has another beef about the writing. "Am I the only one who is getting annoyed with the fact the writers this season seem to be dredging things up from a previously non-existent past(ie. Leo suddeningly coming up with a best friend out of nowhere, Ben the forest ranger stalker; and now CJ sleeping with Hoynes 10 years ago) instead of building a future?"

Yeah, that's kinda cheap. No more please.		#		%
		43		31%
It's been ok, but no more please.
		49		36%
Not bothering me in the least.

8.  This question from "CJ's double": Is anyone else seeing a continuity problem with C.J. and Hoynes having a "relationship" 10 years ago? This is the sixth year for the Bartlet administration. C.J. came along during the primaries, correct? And she was in California working for a public relations firm before that? When, where, and how would she have met Texas politician Hoynes?

I was wondering about that too		#		%
		53		41%
Now that you mention it
		41		31%
Yeah the writers are getting lazy

9.  I have to say that CJ has the most loyal fan base. Some of you are really upset to learn that she slept with Hoynes. You?

Upset. It cheapens her character.		#		%
		52		38%
Not upset. Makes her character more human.
		62		45%
I don't really care.

10.  Andrew W finds it unlikely that Ryan the intern would be left in charge of the base closure meeting. I agree, once again the writers stretch credibility for the sake of the storyline. Your thoughts?

Yep, pretty unlikely.		#		%
		96		71%
Maybe, but doesn't bother me.
