LIES, DAMN LIES AND STATISTICS

Background
Personal
Josh's schoolboy crush on Joey Lucas became slightly more serious when she came to work in the West Wing as a pollster and campaign strategist. It helped, though he'd never admit it, that she confessed she wasn't sleeping with Al Kiefer anymore.
Political
The Secret Service is used to fielding threats on the President's life, but Barlett was profoundly shaken when a 40 year-old woman with a gun breeched security in an attempt to harm his daughter Zoe. Since then, her security detail has been increased to a larger team lead by Special Agent Gina Toscana.

Synposis
While President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his staff nervously await the results of a poll to determine his favorability rating, he begins a heady transfer of ambassadors and members of the Federal Election Committee designed to kickstart campaign finance reform and defuse a embarrassing incident overseas. Specifically, wheeler-dealer Bartlet recalls the married ambassador to Bulgaria (guest star Lawrence Pressman) who is discovered to be romancing the daughter of the country's prime minister, but faces another crisis at home when Sam (Rob Lowe) is photographed by a newspaper giving a graduation gift to a known call girl (guest star Lisa Edelstein). Meanwhile, C.J. (Allison Janney) anxiously paces the White House corridors and wonders if she is being marginalized by Leo (John Spencer) for past mistakes. In addition, Josh (Bradley Whitford) clashes with opinionated pollster Joey (guest star Marlee Matlin). Richard Schiff, Moira Kelly and Dule Hill also star.
