Life Imitates Art

Well maybe its not art. If any TV has been art it was the West Wing.

I knew the season six writers based Matt Santos somewhat off Barack Obama because of his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

What I didn't know is that Aaron Sorkin based Josh Lyman off Rahm Emanuel during Emanuel's years on President Clinton's staff.

So much of season six and seven has had paralled this election why not have it end the same was as the show. It is more than a little surreal that a show that ended two years ago before Obama officially declared his intention to run for president has this many things predicted.
