Does TV foreshadow events in real life? Does life imitate art?
In an excellent piece, the New York Times outlines the eerie similarities between the sixth and seventh seasons of The West Wing television series and the current Presidential Election.
Obama and McCain?
Is Barack Obama foreshadowed by Mathew Santos? Is John McCain foreshadowed by Arnold Vinick?
If so, will Election Night bring the same result? (For Joe Biden’s sake, I hope not entirely!)
Love the West Wing? You can win the complete first or seventh season by participating in Demockracy’s electoral college projection contest.
