Bartlett's winding down his term, apparently with the aid of a stripped-down staff because half of them have joined competing campaigns for the Dem nomination. They occasionally have an episode featuring Bartlett, but the Prez has a much smaller role in the series these days.
Agree that the girlfriend's comment that the "Dems have to start winning" isn't entirely consistent with the show's internal history, but I imagine that it's one of those scraps of "reality" that is intended to draw in you conservative types as viewers.
(It's also one of those small hints that tells me I should search the board to see how the GOP did in the recent elections. I hear you guys did pretty well.)
