Another blow to the West Wing: John Spencer died in LA today

John Spencer died of a heart attack today in Los Angeles. This is probably the worst time for the West Wing, one of my favorite, after Aron Sokin's departure two years ago. Although Josh Lyman, played by Bradley Whitford, is my favorite character in the show, Leo McGarry is one of the key characters who have the potential to last more than the Bartlet presidency.

It is a sad thing to say, but how they will kill Leo in the show would be very difficult and challenging.
