Okay, I wasn't the first one to pick up on the similarities. But I did pick up on them, as did the New York Times.

Pretty cool huh?
The Telegraph stretches the analogy a bit here too http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/02/14/do1402.xml
I miss the West Wing terribly. Perhaps it was the ritual of it; Joe, Dad, and I (and sometimes Mom) would pile on the couch and watch the latest installment in the Bartlett world. During the commercials I would have to ask Dad to explain the plots and politics, at least at first. By the fifth season though, I was all caught up. And I loved it.
I firmly believe that my current interest in politics stems from watching the West Wing.
On a side note: Anyone know where to find episodes online? I want to watch it again.
