sorry it took me forever to respond on this, but yea this is exactly what we were talking about. The Santos vs Vinick thing wound up being eerily close to Obama vs McCain. or, well with a slight shift on timing there. If they'd gotten the McCain how he was long before he actually started running for president. He unfortunately, once he'd picked Palin, he sold out a lot of his more sane, pragmatic thinking to the religious right by then.
and yes, I forget how recently it may have already been mentioned, but the writers fully intended on having Vinick win the election (though they knew it was still the last season of the show), but changed their minds after John Spencer really died, feeling it was too many downers in a row for hardcore Wingers.
