"Santos Campaign" -> "campaign"
"He has a divorced wife," -> "he is divorced from his wife"
"She became pregnant with his twins" - probably worth mentioning that this was through frozen sperm. That's right isn't it?
"so he risked prison and the Federal Prosecutor's sabotage of the Presidential Elections by refusing to reveal how he found out about it." I'm not sure what you're trying to say here about the Prosecutor and the elections.
"payed for sex" -> "paid"
"Rob Lowe was originally the star of the show, but other actors complained after a few series that his wages were in a different league to theirs. This led to Lowe leaving the show."
Not exactly. He was paid more originally because he was the star actor. The other's later had their wages incresed to match his, but his stayed the same. Cue hissy fit.

"Major of Houston" -> Mayor
"represent his district in congress" -> Congress
"Arnie Vinick was the Republican Nomination" - "Nominee"
"for to succeed Bartlet" No for.
"Santos's unexpected strength put pay to that" -> should that be "put paid to that"?

"Democratic Nomination" I'm pretty sure nomination shouldn't be capitalised.
"brace wearing" - How on earth do you know he wears braces? Did they do a shot of his mouth or something?
"He takes his job very importantly" -> "seriously"
Near the beginning you call the programme "West Wing" instead of "The West Wing". Also footnote 16 - universe shouldn't be capitalised, and Martin Sheen has Mexican roots, not Spanish.

This paragraph seems to have attracted the gremlins. Corrections interpolated in {braces}:
Josh saw himself as a master player of people. He used to enjoy tring {trying} to bully the members of both Houses of Congress into siding with the president {President}. It was obvious that many people 'on the hill {Hill, and why is this phrase in quotation marks?}' did not like Josh one bit. When he tried to out a Demoncratic {Democratic} Senetor {Senator} to the press because he was blocking solider's honours because he wanted a piece of useless military technology to be built in his state, the Senetor {Senator} switiched {switched} parties. This blew Josh's confidence and it was all Leo could do to keep {missing word -- him?} in a job against massive pressure from the Democratic Party. His portfolio was reduced and he was paranoid that people were working against him inside the West Wing. When the President was being blamed for a deadlock over the budget and a federal shutdown, Abbey got the rest of the the staff to call Josh in to help out. A brilliant bit of thinking on his feet by Josh which involved the President walking to meet with the Speaker of the House, waiting as the Republicans paniced {panicked} in their office, then leaving after a few minutes turned the tide of public opinion and reaffirmed the power of the President. Josh was back in buisness {business}.
