Synopsis
A budget impasse with Speaker Haffley (Steven Culp) leads to a government shutdown (taking Charlie and Donna, among 940,000 others, off the job). "If we don't end it now," Toby warns Leo, "it'll become a referendum on the Bartlet presidency." That's just what Bartlet seems to want, even though the Republicans are clearly winning it.
