30 Rock Predicted the 2008 Presidential Race
Assuming you didn't already read the headline of this post or look at the picture just above this paragraph, and you had to guess which media source was the first to accurately predict that Barack Obama and John McCain would be the two nominees for president — back in April of 2007 — which one would you choose?
The New York Times? Newsweek? Meet the Press? Slate? The Drudge Report? eHarmony?
Nope. None of them. You're totally off. It was NBC's 30 Rock.

Sure, they can predict a nominee, but did they predict they'd win an Emmy last year??? HUH??? I didn't think so.
