The following is a hypothetical conversation between Senator Barack Obama and President Jed Bartlet of the West Wing, presumably after he has left office. It was authored by West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin. Please, read the whole thing.

I have to admit, I've always had a heterosexual man crush on the Bartlet character; perfect "aw shucks" father figure and simultaneously a singular mind. When Bartlet finally lets loose, I found myself nodding.
Would Obama finally taking on a strong offense piss off McCain supporters? Yes. Would it raliy independents and undecideds? YES. If Obama wants to win, he'll honestly have to stop pulling punches in this match and give all he's got.
So what do you make of this fictional conversation?
