In upcoming weeks, Patricia Richardson (``Home Improvement'') and veteran character actor Stephen Root -- who bears more than a passing resemblance to real-life GOP political strategist Michael Murphy -- will turn up as Vinick aides. Mary Louise Parker will return for several episodes to reprise her role as Democratic political operative Amy Gardner.

And where does all this shuffling leave Bartlet -- who is, after all, still president of the United States?                             

And Wells says he hasn't decided who is going to win. He adds no one should assume it will be Santos, the Democrat, because that would make it easier to keep the all-star, Emmy-winning cast. Tonight, Patricia Richardson of "Home Improvement" and Stephen Root of "News Radio" join Vinick's campaign as the chief of staff and campaign manager, respectively, suggesting they could remain aboard if Vinick wins.
