Great television last night with killer episodes of "Lost" and "The West Wing." On "Lost", a search ensued for the kidnapped Charlie and pregnant Claire. Although Claire is still with the kidnapper, Charlie was found hanging from a tree! It looked for a long time that he was dead... amped up by the soaring music and sobbing characters... until he started coughing at the very last minute. Then on "West Wing", President Bartlet’s multiple sclerosis acted up, paralyzing parts of his body, and forcing him to use a wheelchair – quite the visual! And the politicing is heating up as Alan Alda joined the cast as a liberal Republican presidential candidate. It’s shaping up to be a battle between him and the Democrat played by Jimmy Smits!

And speaking of presidential elections, it’s never too early to think about 2008. On "Imus in the Morning", Senator Joe Biden mentioned that he is considering a run. Others who are already thinking about it include Kerry, Edwards and McCain. And don’t forget about Hillary, Giuliani, Frist and Jeb Bush. It’s a Who’s Who of politics! Maybe we’ll even get Arnold.
