Sam Seaborn or Josh Lyman?

Sam is the obvious one and is especially charming in his defence of Ainsley Hayes in season 2, but Josh is growing on me, despite his weird hair.

Toby I love everything about him.
CJ would be my second choice.
If josh shouted bobbbbbiiiiiiiiinnnn at me like he does to Donna I'd lamp him.

BlueCowWonders · 08/10/2015 22:13

But you all know that Danny would just try SO hard BlushBlushBlush

GrouchyKiwi · 08/10/2015 22:13

This is good. Not too many people to share Sam with.

He's so lovely and earnest and makes fewer massive mistakes, like secret plans to fight inflation.

Meh to Matt.

yes but Mrs Santos might as well be a blank space. Santos and Josh would have made a seriously hot couple, they missed a trick there. Josh for First Man!

TheCrowFromBelow · 08/10/2015 22:14

Yes but it would be like a puppy.
Toby all the way

Ahem - please divert your perverted thoughts away from my husband.....

Josh - too neurotic.
Sam - too nerdy. And neurotic.
Toby - too grumpy. And neurotic.
Will - too nerdy. And neurotic.
Leo - love him, but he's a bit shit with women.
Charlie - obviously far too young even if in reality he is 40.
Danny - funny but played Santa, which no-one normal would do.
Bartlet - I am too frightened of Abbey
Santos - too pretty

Surprised OliviaMumsnet hasn't charged up yet, claiming SS as all her own Grin

MrSlant · 08/10/2015 22:32

I just Googled Charile and he's my age and he looks gorgeous. I may fight Zoey for him after all.

I'm currently watching the episode in season 5 where the federal government is shut down.

How did I miss this first time round.

Hmm. I need to gauge the character personality before making a call on that one.

Fab episode.

It's Christmas now (next episode)

balletgirlmum · 08/10/2015 22:43

Dh got me into it. He watched the entire thing from beginning to end during 3 weeks last year following a car accident when he was virtually bedridden.

overthemill · 08/10/2015 22:44

Josh . But I like Toby and Leo and Sam and mr president. But CJ is the best then Donna. Oh I'm going to have to rematch it now!
