Josh Lyman for Chief of Staff

Bradley_whitfordArt, life, reality, the West Wing. At this point who really knows the difference?

As Brian Stelter wrote in the New York Times yesterday:

Viewers can see allusions to Mr. Obama in almost every facet of Matthew Santos

Matthew Santos is of course played by Jimmy Smits who...

is currently out on the campaign trail speaking to Latinos about Obama who...

is reportedly thinking about asking Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff who...

inspired the character of Josh Lyman in the West Wing...

who is played by actor Bradley Whitford who....

you guessed it, is out there stumping for one Barack Obama.

Confused? Me too. But as long as there's a chance that Josh Lyman ends up running the White House, I'm perfectly happy.
