	FootnoteTV® : The West Wing : Santos v. Vinick Campaign Guide
		Vinick does support restrictions that require minors to notify their parents in all instances (alternative parental-notification measures allow for minors to seek court waiver of that requirement) or that prevent all partial-birth abortions (alternative measures allow for such abortions if a doctor believes it necessary to preserve the woman's life or health).
		Vinick said in In God We Trust that he would support an energy deregulation bill depending on how it was ultimately written, suggesting that he favors energy deregulation in general but not in all instances.

		Vinick thinks that he needs to run in order to confirm, without a doubt, that moderates like him, and not the right-wing conservatives, are the real Republicans.
		Sheila's there, and she tells Vinick that he already won the fight for the soul of his party: "Ray Sullivan, the most popular guy in the party, is a Vinick Republican now." Except that he's anti-choice and extremely conservative.
		Vinick doesn't want to be Santos's prop, but Bob thinks that if Vinick doesn't go then the Santos camp will leak the invite to make Santos look bi-partisan and Vinick look like a sore loser.

	FootnoteTV® : The West Wing : Message of the Week
		Vinick responds to Santos's gains by switching his message of the week to issues relating to illegal immigration, such as a guest workers visa program and a Central American Free Trade Agreement, though he also criticizes the Minutemen as "vigilantes" (2).
		Vinick lies to the lobbyist for a religious group by saying that he would nominate pro-life federal judges once president (3), an error which his running mate tries to fix.
		Vinick's support of CAFTA pushes Santos into trying to reconcile two apparently inconsistent votes ("I voted for CAFTA before I voted against it") and thus making a fumble reminiscent of Sen. John Kerry (4) in his own campaign.

		Vinick boosters are as juiced up about the White House hopeful as the "Bobbing for Oranges" contest at the 38th Annual Citrus Festival next weekend.
		By then, City Council members were tired of the "The West Wing" stall: They brashly passed a motion "to claim Senator Arnold Vinick as a resident of Santa Paula." The council also asked a cable company to produce a documentary, still in the planning, in which townsfolk shared their false memories of Vinick growing up.
		Vinick's campaign headquarters, in the depot that also houses the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce, will remain open daily for several more months through the election "unless 'The West Wing'; decides Alan Alda is from Anaheim or someplace else," Bobkiewicz says.

	Santa Paula Times: Arnold Vinick For President
		Vinick for President posters adorned the wall of the Community Center and many of those there wore Vinick buttons or T-shirts.
		Indeed, Santa Paula is Vinick country, at least after an aggressive campaign led by Mayor Mary Ann Krause and City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz who lobbied NBC to officially link Vinick to the city after the candidate commented in January that he had grown up in a California citrus town.
		After NBC journalist Forrest Sawyer outlined the rules of the faux event, Vinick showed his stuff by noting that Abraham Lincoln was “not afraid of a real debate...” and noted that the next president of the United States should not be determined by how well he adheres to debate rules.

		Santa Paula is the Ventura County hamlet that has run a relentless tongue-in-cheek campaign to put Vinick in the Oval Office and the town in the Emmy-winning drama's script.
		The chamber was helping plan a Vinick "rally" and hospital fundraiser at the community center, where townsfolk clad in Vinick T-shirts will watch the debate episode on a big-screen TV.
		According to the bio, Vinick's parents relocated the family from New York to farm orange groves in Santa Paula, where young Arnold "learned the value of hard work and responsibility." Vinick volunteered at Santa Paula's public library.

	C.W. Nevius.blog : George Bush goes all Arnold Vinick
		Arnold Vinick is the character played by Alan Alda on the NBC show "West Wing.'' If you follow the show you know that Vinick is running for president against the democratic candidate, Matt Santos, played by Jimmy Smits.
		In the show Vinick was doing pretty well in a neck and neck race until his claim that nuclear power was perfectly safe had a bit of a, well, setback when there was a nasty meltdown at a nuclear plant.
		The clear message as the show ended was that Vinick had re-energized his campaign by stepping up and taking the best the media could throw at him.

		Vinick, on the other hand, was more inclined to provide fast and easy answers, though his comments on the failures of the Head Start educational program indicated that the character could also marshal his facts.
		In this live episode, make-believe Republican candidate Arnold Vinick startled his pretend Democratic rival, Matt Santos, by suggesting at the outset that their carefully negotiated rules of engagement be thrown out.
		Vinick is threatening to denounce his own party's TV ad that has smeared Santos' abortion-rights advocacy because it would expose his own quasi-abortion-rights flank, which would then alienate the far right.

	MyDD :: The West Wing Election
		Santos, the Texas Congressman played by Jimmy Smits, is the favorite of a plurality in the poll, which was weighted to ensure it reflects the partisan breakdown of the U.S. population, and not just the demographic that views The West Wing frequently or occasionally.
		Considering Vinick's comments about politicians and religion, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that he is struggling among Republicans.
		Vinick then loses a significant chunck of the religious conservative base, and Santos manages to win without getting more than 50% of the popular vote.

	"West Wing" Republican Separates Church and State
		The episode focused on Republican Sen. Arnold Vinick, further fleshing out and developing the man who may indeed become the next fictional president on this show.
		But the Vinick episode proved the show is still capable of effectively connecting to the moment and added a new layer of drama and compassion to its current story about the upcoming fictional presidential election.
		The show last week ended with Vinick speaking to reporters about religion and politics with the kind of brute honesty that often endears voters to candidates in real life and the kind of thoughtful compassion that has endeared viewers to President Josiah Bartlet during the last six seasons.

	SR.com: 'Liberal pond scum' floats over to Vinick
		By the end of "The West Wing's" live debate episode last Sunday, I felt tempted to vote for Arnold Vinick for president.
		Vinick thinks he can make a positive contribution to the country, and that — not a desire for power or prestige — motives him to run.
		It would be fascinating to watch the Vinick character begin to untangle his party from its all-too-real excesses and steer it toward the middle.

		The survey showed that Santos is trusted more than Vinick to handle most current issues, including immigration, health care, Social Security, abortion, race relations, education, and the environment.
		Vinick is trusted more to handle international relations, tax cuts, and terrorism.
		A majority said they agree with Santos’ political philosophy, but Vinick is seen as more “presidential” and has a background better suited for the presidency, the survey shows.

		Zogby rep Fritz Wenzel told The TV Column yesterday that the poll results show Smits "is a better scripted actor" and that Alda's Vinick "has a relatability" that Santos lacks.
		Vinick "did much better than Santos" in the debate, Wenzel said, but even he was surprised that "there was so much movement in the numbers" in Vinick's favor.

		Santos even outperforms Vinick when viewers are asked to put aside their own political preferences and answer which character would make for a more interesting show.
		Pollster John Zogby: “While the American people don’t go to the polls to elect a real-life president for some time, the attention of political junkies will be riveted to their television sets this fall.

	The Anonymous Liberal: Santos vs. Vinick
		In the parallel political universe of the West Wing, Democrat Matthew Santos (Jimmy Smits) and Republican Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda) held their first presidential debate on live television tonight.
		I was initially skeptical of this gimmick, but I've got to give the show's writers credit; it turned out quite well.
		As soon as the show ended, I was reminded that in the real world there aren't politicians like Santos and Vinick.
