"Hartsfield's Landing" also includes Toby Ziegler and Sam Seaborn playing chess matches against President Jed Bartlet, and C. J. Cregg involving herself in a prank war against Charlie Young.
Donna spends the next few hours standing outside the White House, in the cold night, trying to remind the voters of the president's accomplishments.

[4] Hartsfield's Landing, while fictional, has been described as a homage to real-life, small, early-voting New Hampshire towns such as Hart's Location, Dixville Notch, and Millsfield.
Analyses conclude that unlike Hartsfield's Landing, Dixville Notch is not a bellwether; it does not reliably predict the winner in the general election for either New Hampshire or the country.
The entire main cast, with the exception of the deceased John Spencer,[a] returned to their roles for a recorded stage play of the episode in the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
