Bruno Gianelli is the campaign manager for the second term of President Josiah Jed Bartlet. He is considered a brilliant political strategist, claiming that the only election campaigns he has ever lost are ones where the candidate didn't listen or the advice didn't get through. He was credited with the election of five senators, three governors, a Democratic candidate in a place where they haven't elected a Democrat in 46 years and an Israeli Prime Minister. Perhaps not too surprisingly, he is not terribly concerned about ideals and principles and serves more as a hired gun. That said, his personal politics are fairly moderate and believes that both parties should be strong.
