"West Wing" Writer Comments on "Huffington Post"

Former "West Wing" writer Michael Oates Palmer, posted a political comment at the Huffington Post about the death penalty, which included this statement:
"If a Hillary supporter can point me to one decision or vote she's made in the last four years where she took a stand that went against her best political interests – I’ll buy the first beer. (Obligatory disclaimer: Literally, the first beer to one lucky reader. I'm not buying five thousand people their first beers of the evening. End of obligatory disclaimer.)"

From his bio on the blog:
" Michael Oates Palmer is an executive story editor and writer for In Justice, a drama series premiering this spring on ABC. He previously wrote for Steven Bochco's police drama Blind Justice and also the Emmy-winning fourth season of Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing, where he was, at that time, the youngest writer in that series' history.
