Okay, so call me a freak or whatever but look at the details: Obama Campaign: * Barack Obama - minority candidate who doesn't want to focus on race * Joe Biden - older wise running mate * Jon Favreau - Young (27 yrs old) speech writer * Main Message: Yes America Can * Platform: Change (typical US politics, lil bit of everything) * Main Message: Yes we Can Barack Obama, a relatively unknown Senator, is plucked from obscurity (by Oprah and others) and pushed into the national campaign. He's running against a moderate older white republican, is black, and has a wife and two kids. Santos Campaign (West Wing) * Matthew Santos - minority candidate who doesn't want to focus on race * Leo McGarry - older wise running mate * Otto - Young speech writer * Main Message: Yes America Can * Platform: A secure nation, a strong economy, a better education Matt Santos, a relatively unknown congressman, is plucked from obscurity and pushed into the national campaign. He's running against a moderate older white republican, is latino, and has a wife and two kids. anyone else think its just a lil too weird?
