![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The writers of "The West Wing" were using a helluva magic eight ball! The last two seasons of the show have some strange coincidences with the 2008 Presidential race.
SlateV.com created a video comparing the similarities between Barack Obama and Jimmy Smits' character, Matt Santos. A writer for the show, Eli Attie, admits Smits character was directly shaped by Obama. The writer even met with one of Obama's political consultants, who was working on his campaign for Senate at the time.
In the show, a Congressman of color runs for the Democratic nomination and the primary race is so close it leads to a brokered convention. Smits opponent is better-known, funded and experienced. Freaky!
P.S. -- Santos won the nomination and went on to win the presidential election.

Revelations 13 deciphered....Hillary Clinton was meant to win this election; however, "free will" and changed MIND may, unfortunately, prevail?!
Even if he gets in he will lose to McCain , I sincerely believe this great United States Of America is not ready for a minority president, not yet. Besides he is not a leader, at best maybe a damn good used car salesman.
President Obama! VP: edwards, i wish. but he will probably cave and go with someone more conservative!
yeah, drew, cuz old rich white guys are doing SUCH a spectacular job!!!!!!!!! i pray you're wrong and this country isnt still THAT backwoods!
And whatever you do, don't ask Obama about his religion anymore. He's tired of talking about it. We're doomed!
obama vs. mccain= mccain
hillary vs. mccain= who knows, hillary might have a chance.....
