Over on the
west_wing_fans community, there's a thread discussing
this blog entry from the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph, about similarities between the 2006 Presidential election in the WW universe (Santos vs. Vinnick) and the currently-probable 2008 election in ours (Obama vs. McCain).
John McCain is no Alan Alda, I'll tell you that! But damn, where is Jed Bartlet when we need him?
