Lawrence O’Donnell just announced on Rachel Maddow’s show (yes, it’s almost 2 in the morning and I still can’t get enough of MSNBC) that tonight’s debate was all about his dream administration. The debate was modelled, he says, after the debate during the final season of West Wing. Further, O’Donnell wanted Lehrer to host the fictional debate but Lehrer said “no” because PBS has a rule about their people on fictional dramas, a rule he wrote.

We’ve all officially spent too much time thinking about the last time a Democrat was president (Jed Bartlet), but it’s cheaper than buying the DVD.
