I just watched most of the episode of The West Wing where Alan Alda (as Vinick) and Jimmy Smits (as Santos) have a debate as presidential hopefuls. Having just seen a million other real debates, this was kind of cool to watch. It was filmed as a real live debate with the camera style and angles as they should be. There was a deviance from this when both candidates grabbed wireless microphones and walked around a little more (this was not supposed to be a town meeting style debate), but it was fine. I have to say that even though this aired two years ago, the debate topics sounded like they were this year’s topics (illegal immigration and nuclear energy, for example). I wish I had kept up with the show better, but it was nice to catch this episode at least.
