NEW YORK (AP) — ABC will cast Geena Davis as a female president in the ultimate juggling act between work and family, part of a change-filled fall schedule that tries to capitalize on this season's unexpected success...

Davis stars with Donald Sutherland in "Commander-in-Chief" on Tuesdays. She assumes the presidency with twin teen-agers and a 6-year-old at home, and a party that wants her to resign rather than take over for a dying president.

"It's not a political story," said Stephen McPherson, ABC entertainment president. "It's the story of a woman; it's the story of a wife; it's the story of a family."..

1. that sounds appalling

a female president whose primary role is still as a wife and a mother -- and if it's not political, why the freaking political frame?

2. Yeah. I like Geena Davis; but the "not political" statement makes

it sound like the program is going to be crap. Why make the main character president if the show is not going to be political.
