President D. Wire Newman and Secretary of Labor Leo McGarry, January 1991, 100 words.
"Scotch, Leo?"
"No thanks, Mr. President."
"D.W., Leo."
"Not for a few days, sir."
"Yeah. What are you going to do now? I know Lassiter's people have talked about keeping you on."
"I'm going to go back to Chicago. Spend some time with Jenny and Mallory."
"You ever think of running for my job?"
Leo shook his head. "I'm not the guy. I'll run your campaign for you in '94, though."
"I think America's had enough of me – hence my defeat. You should think about it, Leo. Someone's got to save the party."
Leo smiled. "I might know a guy."
