Added DiffLines:

* DownToTheLastPlay: Santos has 267 electoral votes to Vinick's 266, but both are just short of the 270 needed to win outright. Nevada is the only state left up for grabs, and whoever gets the 5 electoral votes there wins.


Added DiffLines:

* GracefulLoser: Vinick refuses to contest his narrow defeat, believing that if he did he'd look like he was capitalizing on Leo's death. Santos had also decided that if ''he'' lost he would accept it as well.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllMyFault: Josh blames himself for Leo's death, saying he talked him into running for office even knowing about his health issues. Donna reminds him that Leo would never let himself be talked into anything that he didn't want to do anyway.

...and all of the Santos staffers are celebrating, spilling out in the hallway; even Lou is overjoyed. Santos and Helen start to dance, and everyone in the hall starts to sing "Deep in the Heart of Texas." Only Donna remains calm, and she's looking for Josh. She takes the elevator down to the floor with Leo's room, and one of the Secret Service agents motions her inside Leo's room. Josh is inside, looking at the mess. He notices Donna, sniffles, and mentions he called housekeeping so Mallory wouldn't have to see the mess. Donna tells him about Texas, and Josh manages to laugh, but still looks despondent. Donna tells him, "[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming You've done a remarkable thing. Win or lose, an extraordinary thing]]." Josh continues to cry as he says, "[[ItsAllMyFault I talked him into this, into joining the ticket]]." Donna gently reminds him no one ever talked Leo into anything he didn't want to do, and says he'd want Josh upstairs. She adds, "[[TearJerker He was so proud of you, Josh]]." Josh slumps into Donna's arms.
