Who just watched the West Wing?
I have to say that I loved it and I loved it for one reason. The whole time I could only think of one thing: Paul Wellstone

The whole one shot TV ad was exactly like the 1990 campaign when Wellstone ran the "I'm looking for Rudy Boschwitz" ad because he wouldn't debate him.

Santos' view about political ads in general is just like Wellstone's, he hated them and wanted to not use them (but was ultimately talked out of it). And that whole ad where he just got on TV and said what he felt, those were the kinds of ads that Wellstone eventually decided to run just him and a camera saying what he felt.

Anybody else see it or am I crazy?
