Just got to watch the show last night, so I have been avoiding this thread!

The election story line is actually ripped from a Baltimore mayoral race. The Carcetti candidate is actually Irish....O'Mally I think? BUt of course Simon et al say that the character is not based on the current mayor. I think I read that O'Malley is now running for governor or some other statewide office
