Here is the Atlas Congressional Rotisserie League.
Each team gets to pick 2 Senators and 8 Representives. The goal is to have the most extremist team possible. When the ratings for this congress come out from the partisan groups, like the ACLU or ACU, the scoring will be as follows. For every percent away from either 100 or 0 (whichever that person is closest to), they get points. So, if Rick Santorum gets a 93, his team would get 7 points. The object is to have the least amount of points. Hopefully we will use many different groups ratings. Once we have teams, we can draft Senators and Representitives.

I form the Blue State Blues.

I thought you were going to say Santorum.
Anyway, the teams so far:

Blue State Blues (Akno21)
Populist ACRC (Al)
PA Far Righties (Jake)

Once 72 hours pass without any new registrations, we will have the draft.

I won't take part in the extremism. I'll just watch.




And if I have to cheer for a far right group, you know what I think right?



GO PA FAR RIGHTIES!

Current list of teams:

Blue State Blues (Akno21)
ACRC Populist (Al)
PA Far Righties (Jake)
DC Dove-Chicken Hawks (Joe Republic)
People's Republic of Cambridge (Blerpiez)
NC Liberals (nclib)
Pittsburgh Progressives (True Democrat)

Does everyone agree that for the draft we start with the first owners, go down the list, and then go back up for the second round, and on and on. At this point, I would have the 1st overall selection and the 14th, then so on.

I can imagine, "Um, Mr. Senator, can you vote Aye on Bill 867? I need you to pick up some Conservative points for my congressional fantasy team, Thanks."

Haha. I only wish I had that much influence. Although I almost ran right Thune on the elevator the other day, that's probably as close as I'll get to a Senator.

Sounds good.  I take it we can't pick people other people have already chosen?  Or is that a dumb question?
