I've had a couple folks e-mail in to tell me that, contrary my allusion at Tapped yesterday, Sam Seaborne actually won his quixotic campaign in Orange County. My recollection was that he got crushed and we last saw him sobbing into the arms of Toby and Josh, who, on Bartlett's orders, were wresting control of Sam's candidacy from the Big Business apparatchik plotting strategy. But my understanding was that they just helped him shift towards Dean and away from Lieberman on the lefty tone continuum, not that they pulled off the impossible and won the sort of district that requires massive ballot fraud to even dent. E-mails rushing into my inbox, however, are taking the opposite view and assuring me that Rob Lowe was actually shunted off the show and into a cushy congressional seat in a make-believe world where Democrats turn around terrible campaigns in their final days and shred the Orange Curtain.
Is this true? And if so, how fully lame.
