@rjh00 First, I have no problem with the Santos character. I said Arron Sorkin wasn't writing for West Wing at the time. Second, I know people went to the Moon. Who said I didn't?
-
@Mozart1220 Sorkin came back for the last 2 seasons.....
Matt Santos was loosely based on Obama,partly because of his electrifiying speech at the democratic national convention and partly because of what he did in Chicago.
Just because you find it hard to believe, does not mean it isn't true.
Just like only because you didn't go to the moon doesn't mean other men didn't

@FireCaptain01 Sorkin was not involved with West Wing for those seasons. How could he have based those characters on anyone? The last season was 2006. How could anyone have known even then that Obama would do what he did?
-
@filegirl The writers said they based Santos on Obama

Often times great insight is mistaken for clairvoyance. Most truisms, like the one articulated in this scene, are given that stature because they are in fact true, and they will eventually be reflected in future unforeseen events. It is the nature of the world, and the nature of true wisdom.

@filegirl you lost me at "principled", darling. and the decline of john mcain saddens me, too. he's been good on the armed services committee, though.

@filegirl Santos is actually a Congressman when he gets elected. Sorkin based Santos off Obama and Vinick off McCain. The characters are eerily similar because they are planned as such.

Seriously, have you seen Season 6 & 7?
Charismatic, principled non-white Senator comes out of no where and ends up beating the entrenched Democrat with all of the advantages for the nomination.
Goes on to run for the Presidency up against a moderate Republican known for bucking the right wing (well, that's not John McCain now, but it was a few years ago).
Its absolutely freakish.

20 hours in America was one of the best (double) episodes ever. True about the link to Obama, it really does describe what people want from him
