Fowler

persuadable pragmatic partisan

Fowler cuts as a prime Republican aide Toby Ziegler hunts in the Oval Office's treaty maelstrom, paired with Fox to crack votes loosened by Stensen's defection. Amid Bartlet's aspirin-fueled desperation and Leo's order clampdown, Toby banks on Fowler's sway in the lame duck Test Ban ratification blitz—nuclear peril fueling moral fire. Off-stage fulcrum, he embodies the White House's razor-edge partisan chess, where aide-level flips dictate proliferation's fate against Senate gridlock.
