The West Wing, Season Two

[flashback]

Bartlet:
Why are you doing this? You're a player. You're bigger in the party than I am. Hoynes would probably make you National Chairman. Leo, tell me this isn't one of the twelve steps.

Leo:
That's what it is. Right after admitting that we are powerless over alcohol and a higher power can restore us to sanity. That's where you come in.

Bartlet:
Leo...

Leo:
Because I'm tired of it! Year, after year, after year of having to choose between the lesser of who cares? Of trying to get myself excited over a candidate who can speak in complete sentences. Of setting the bar so low, I can hardly look at it. They say a good man can't get elected president. I don't believe that, do you?

Bartlet:
And you think I'm that man?

Leo:
Yes.

Bartlet:
Doesn't it matter that I'm not as sure?

Leo:
Nah. 'Act as if ye have faith and faith shall be given to you.' Put another way: 'Fake it until you make it.'
