Santos IS Obama! Obama IS Santos!

November 11th, 2008

A great little vid on how Matt Santos, the Democratic candidate during the last season of Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing (a favorite of mine) was based on Barack Obama.  Of course, then Santos won the election, and 3 years later his real life counterpart followed suit.  Who gets to be the real life Toby Zeigler?  Because that kid is awesome.  Link.

    as you know, i’m basically obsessed with both the west wing and president-elect obama, so watching how the two have dove-tailed has been a dream come true.
