GAH. I've just scrolled back three days on my flist looking and I can't find it. I give up!

Which one of you darlings posted recently about how Obama and his to-be staff going to the White House is like The West Wing RPF after the fact, because a character from the show was based on Obama and the guy Josh was based on (or the guy Sam was based on?) has been asked to be his chief of staff (unless I've got the details all wrong?) C'mon, correct me!

I don't know the post of which you speak, but the people are as follows:

Congressman Matt Santos = Senator Barak Obama
Josh Lyman = Rahm Emanuel

In the later seasons of TWW, Josh convinces young upstart Matt Santos to compete for the Democratic nomination, which he wins after an epic nomination fight. (Josh and Toby have a falling out over this, as Josh is running Santos's campaign and Toby's working for someone else - or so sayeth Wikipedia. I stopped watching after Season 4 when Sam was replaced by McDrippy.)

I found a little video summary thing when I googled about it, but I didn't actually realise that Toby had left to work for someone else. Sam AND Toby gone? Yikes!
