President Bartlet speaks to presidential candidate Obama:
Four weeks ago you had the best week of your campaign, followed — granted, inexplicably — by the worst week of your campaign. And you’re still in a statistical dead heat. You’re a 47-year-old black man with a foreign-sounding name who went to Harvard and thinks devotion to your country and lapel pins aren’t the same thing and you’re in a statistical tie with a war hero and a Cinemax heroine. To these aged eyes, Senator, that’s what progress looks like. You guys got four debates. Get out of my house and go back to work.

I think Aaron Sorkin should start drafting the Obama concession speech, and then maybe a sequel to the West Wing where an amoral pandering black guy actually becomes president and brings the US down to the political and economic level of a third world country.
