　　她必须在国际危机、办公室政治和复杂的家庭生活之间寻找平衡点。据称这位女国务卿的原型就是希拉里-克林顿和玛德琳-奥尔布赖特（特别是前者），但CBS不肯承认。 精明干练、意志坚定、智慧超群的Elizabeth McCord（Tea Leoni，其本人已担任联合国儿童基金会亲善大使13年）刚刚被任命为美国国务卿，她将在国际外交事务、办公室政治和各种「徊避程序」之间寻找平衡点。在解决全球危机和国家大事的同时，她还面临很多个人烦恼——既来自美国国务院这个有着7万名雇员的庞大机构，也来自白宫，还来自家中。Elizabeth过去是一位大学教授，后来又当过中情局分析师，但因为道德伦理方面的原因辞了职。前任国务卿离奇死亡，总统下令让她重返白宫，她因此回到了公众的视线中。总统尊重她没有明显政治倾向性的态度，也赏识她对中东事务的透彻认识、她能流畅说多国语言的能力及她的创造性思维。事实上……从来没有什么东西能约束她的思维

　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
