Fantasy Congress Creators Make New Game in Time for Presidential Elections

It's called Kingmaker and its part of a partnership between Andrew Lee and crew and Politico.com.

I had my problems with Fantasy Congress. Namely, it's more about the quantity of the legislation and co-sponsorship than the quality and that that kind of thinking encourages federal government's growth, which isn't something we want to encourage. Often the best kind of statesmanship defeats bad laws rather than passes them.

But still the main prize is intriguing so I may jump in. The grand prize, according to The Inland Daily Valley Bulletin, is two tickets to the annual White House Correspondents' press dinner.

So how does the game work?

In Kingmaker, participants must try to predict the percentage of votes that each candidate will receive in a given primary. Users receive additional points for the narrowness of their predictions.

Lee mentions at the end.

"If people care about politics as much as sports, then perhaps we'd have a better government."

I hate to be the one to break it to him, but in America, we have a Republic. No need for any "king makers." We don't want a bunch of people running around like Raiders fans who win or lose decide to burn the town down.
