The West Wing: 2008

Slate.com has a spectacular video on how this year's Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee race looks an awful lot like the last two seasons of the West Wing, where a young, charismatic, minority candidate defeated an old Washington hand to race a moderate old veteran senator who defeated an Evangelical in his primary.

The slate.com video's most interesting point is the David Axelrod, now Obama's chief presidential campaign strategist but in 2004 his chief senate campaign strategist, was actually involved in the creation of Matt Santos, and so in some ways based him off of Barack Obama.
