That father was such a bastard!

I agree, that was heart-wrenching. and did the Dad win the election? that was never mentioned again. I bet he did not, which is why he covered up the body in the first place.

The actor who plays him, Arliss Howard, has played a scumbag in everything I've seen him in. I think he's a really good actor, but it's weird to me that he always picks such horrible people to portray.
