THE WEST WING --(9:00PM-10:00PM) --(TV-PG)

"Freedonia"

FRENZIED NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY GETS DOWN AND DIRTY AS JOSH CLASHES WITH HIS CANDIDATE SANTOS -- Five days before the New Hampshire primary, a desperate Josh (Bradley Whitford) must find a way to get his trailing candidate, Congressman Santos (Jimmy Smits), into the local newspaper's debate between the two front-runners, Vice President Russell (Gary Cole) and Hoynes (Tim Matheson), or face extinction -- until they gamble on staging their own debate. When Santos brings in savvy Amy Gardner (Mary-Louise Parker) to prep him, Josh clashes with both his ex-girlfriend and his candidate over the listless campaign. Allison Janney, Janel Moloney and Joshua Malina also star.
