Politics on TV, TV in Politics?

If you haven't seen it yet, go over to NBC and watch the SNL skit with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hilary Clinton. Go on, I'll wait.

You liked it, right? Funny stuff. I've said for a while - although apparently not here - that I think that Palin and Fey look alike. Especially when Jen and I watched "Baby Mama" this weekend. Very funny movie, by the way.

In other TV news.... The BBC has an article about how the current campaigns between Obama and McCain seem to mirror those found in the sixth season of the West Wing, when Arnold Vinick (played by Alan Alda) ran against Matt Santos (played by Jimmy Smits). They eerily mirror the current candidates, and many of the issues brought up in the tv campaign are being raised today. And while Vinick did choose a very conservative running mate, he did NOT choose "Caribou Barbie". His loss.

I wonder if the McCain camp has watched the West Wing election episodes to see who won? And if they did, are they aware of the outcome?
