How The West Wing predicted the future

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email alerts. Thanks for visiting!

One of the TV shows that I’ve always regretted missing is The West Wing and somehow I’ve never managed to get my hands on the DVD versions as well. But I’ve always heard high praise for the series. Matt Santos, one of the characters in the series was modeled on Barack Obama. But the real surprise is how the West Wing script is now emerging as a prediction for today’s political scenario; right down to the Republican challenger. And it had a happy ending. Will the real race too have one?
