Why this must be read: This is an angsty, bittersweet glance into Sam's mind after his crushing defeat in Orange County, and an attempt to explain why he didn't return to the White House. It rings true. Maybe losing that election was merely the culmination of a long slide down the slippery, filthy slopes of politics, and after he had landed in the dirt, very far from the pristine idealism he'd once had, he finally found the courage to do what he needed to do to start the journey back to himself.
