"It’s time to go back to an idealized president -- a well-articulated and idealized president," said Howard Gordon.cite web| author=Anthony C.

And I think that's a fun part to play. What happens when somebody's idealism butts up against the realpolitik of the world? But she's a very human character, and I think a very strong president and aspirational in the kind of way David Palmer was."cite web| author=Hal Boedeker|publisher=Orlando Sentinel|date=2008-07-15|accessdate=2008-07-26|title=United States to get idealistic woman president -- on "24"|url=http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2008/07/united-states-t.html ] "It is an heroic administration. Cherry Jones plays the president brilliantly," he continued.

Jones has said that Taylor is "an honorable, courageous, upright kind of gal [and] very much her own person. [...] The president makes a very bold move, which then sets off the cataclysmic events" that the US has yet to experience.
