*** Nicholas Caeus is first shown as a campaign manager for a moderate Republican running a hopeless campaign on Long Island. He flatly states that it doesn't matter if he looses this one race, so long as he gets his moderate message out he can't loose in the long run.
*** Clay Vinson is introduced with a speech where he quotes Eugene V. Debs and calls for "the nationalization of major industries and a single-payer healthcare system".
*** Amanda Morris' first scene is [[spoiler: stabbing her husband through the neck with a piece of glass after a car accident so that she can escape their horrible marriage and have a political career of her own]].
