Mary Marsh's POV
Josh Lyman is an enigma to me. He is President Bartlet''s attack dog. I have sparred with him and have not been pleased with the outcome. He was quite savage.
And yet, when not engaged in political debate, Josh Lyman is so polite and well mannered, his parents taught him well.
Even when we are debating opposing sides of an issue, his cross-examination of our stance leads me to believe that he is mindful of our viewpoint and makes a sincere effort to understand our rationale.
Josh Lyman is extremely passionate in his convictions. His commitment to the Democratic Party amazes me, wrong as it maybe. If our delegation showed the same dedication to our cause, we would be in the White House.
I have prayed long and hard for Mr. Lyman, especially after Rosslyn. I believe, through prayer, I have divined God''s will for him. You see, he has no family. Were he to have a family to lead, he would view the world through the eyes of a husband and a father. Surely then he would see the errors and shortfalls of the Democratic Party. Countless souls have taken this path and converted when the issues come close to hearth and home.
I am convinced that Josh has never been properly tutored in our beliefs. If he were, he would surely see that he has been sorely deluded by the false Prophets of the Democratic National Committee these many years.
Yes, Josh Lyman can be converted to the Republican way of thinking by the right person. Then, with him on board, we would be a force to be reckoned with.
Josh Lyman needs a wife. A Republican wife.
