Talk:Robert Ritchie (The West Wing)

Untitled
Nothing about Ritchies's encounter with President Bartlet in the episode Posse Comitatus?

Former Governor of Florida?
Why is he the Former Governor of Florida? I realize you can only be Governor for two terms in Florida... but do we have any idea when his term started? It was confirmed that a Dem lost the 1996 Govership election in 1996 which would put Ritchie as Governor from Jan 1997 to Jan 2005. He must have been re-elected in 2000. Hence he was a two term Governor by the 2002 election.

Term as Florida Governor
In the pilot episode of The West Wing there is a subplot involving Cuban refugees landing in Miami. The Sam Seaborn character makes reference to "the Governor of Florida wants to blockade the Port of Miami". However, at the very end of the episode the President has a conference call scheduled with "Governor Thomas and the majority leader". Given the events of the episode it is reasonable to assume that "Governor Thomas" may have been intended to be the Governor of Florida at that time (roughly September 1999) which may mean that Ritchie succeeded Thomas (perhaps from the post of Lieutenant Governor prior to November 2000) or defeated him/won an open-seat election in 2000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Php man (talk • contribs) 02:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
