I would imagine most reading this review have seen the episode so I'm unabashedly including spoilers.
If the series had continued past Santos's Inauguration, this may well have been the pilot episode. Re-watch it and see if you get the same feel that you got when you watched the pilot to the series....
The last scene as Matt and Josh are about to go into the house to do the "grip and grin" have 100% the same feel as the trailing shot after Bartlett yells "Mrs. Landingham...what's next?" in the pilot.
