One thought I've been playing with--Roslin is acting (and kind of has been acting for years) like George-Bush-as-seen-from-the-left. Not like the real Bush, I'd say, but like the sort of picture you'd get of him from Daily Kos and Michael Moore movies.
Self-righteous, self-assured, religious extremist, convinced she's on a sacred mission. Willing to take shortcuts on the rule of law (or ignore it entirely), impatient with democracy. And, heck, she's even pro-life--and she tried to steal an election!
And the kicker is, she's a sympathetic character. She's one of the heroes of the show. (After season 3, I bought one of those "don't blame me, I voted for Roslin" buttons.)

Not sure where they, or I, am going with that...
