The West Wing and my unique thoughts

My obsession with following the US presidential elections waned somewhat three weeks ago, only to be replaced by a similar obsession with The West Wing, all seven seasons of which I watched in the succeeding three weeks. 

After watching the last episode last night and while preparing dinner, I was mulling over how best to blog about my almost certainly unique observations on how eerily close the West Wing was to the current US presidential elections. 

Then I saw this, this and this.

The New York Times, The Guardian and Jimmy Smits stole my thunder. Boo.
