Token evangelical nutjob. Bible-thumpers find a way to insert themselves into everything political.
Since this is a Lifetime movie, and Lifetime movies are very rarely close to actual events, I see Alyssa portraying a knife-wielding mistress of a Congressman, threatening to go to the National Enquirer with her inside fiscal cliff scoop.
Always a bridesmaid and never a bride, Brian would make a good secondary character. Perhaps he's a local D.C. cameraman with the hots for the big-shot female reporter.
I see Kelly as a lobbyist named Sally Armstrong who drops her briefcase a lot and spills her papers everywhere.

These Lifetime vets would portray a husband-and-wife duo on opposite sides of the political spectrum. The only place these two meet in the middle is the bedroom. Ow ow!
Because you can't have a legit Lifetime movie without Meredith Baxter.
She's the tough-talking, sassy Senator from New Jersey who is crazy in her personal life but totally together in Congress. She loves coffee, Xanax, and receiving applause. Hates: George Bush, taxing the middle class, and term "debt ceiling".
It's not a true Lifetime Original Movie without a soap opera President.
Not to be outdone by her former 90210 co-stars, Tori will play a right-wing, gun-toting Representative from Arkansas who gets into at least one bitch-fight with Meredith Baxter. She is also the final deciding vote on the fiscal cliff, leaving us on the edge of our seats until 11:59.
