    • Trivia
      Bruno says he's going home to Essex County, New York, where he has a big house on the Hudson River. That likely puts him in Newcomb, New York, where the Hudson River resembles more a brook than a river.

      When the Santos campaign are celebrating, Josh is hugging Donna behind Edie and Barry Goodwin. However, the next shot is of Josh punching his hands in the air, before Donna reaches him.
    • Quotes

      Congressman Matthew Santos: America has lost a giant tonight, and I have lost a friend. Leo McGarry dedicated his life to public service. To the notion that every citizen is responsible for making this country a better place. That we have a sacred duty to participate in our democracy. To leave America stronger for the next generation. If I win this election, the country will be worse off because Leo McGarry will not be there to help me run it. But I don't want anyone to vote for or against me because of Leo McGarry. This race wasn't about him and it isn't about me. It's a vision for America that will outlast Leo and outlast me. There is an America that's bigger than any of us, and for those of you who have not yet voted, it is the only thing that should matter when you go to the polls tonight. Thank you.
