"The West Wing" as a prophetic guide to this election

I've made comments about this before, so I won't again, but I'm re-watching Season 6 of "The West Wing," a season that foretold with startling accuracy a good deal of the details of this election. For the record, they also did a it's-over-but-the-candidate-doesn't-realize-it story, so that's a new one to add to the list.

The stunner was watching the first speech again from the Obama-like candidate, which turned out to be entirely about Hope, and how we should continue to believe in Hope against all odds. Gave me chills. Someone needs to call up John Wells and ask him if he's the Antichrist.
