Fantasy Congress post #5

The team that i chose to observe and compare and contrast with mine is BeautifulA's team because she is first place in out class and therefore must be doing something right. BeautifulA has earned the majority of her points between drafting Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Dick Durbin. Her follow up scorers are Patrick Leahy and John Conyers, and also Melissa Bean for the Maverick column. When I compare this team with mine, the two players we have in common are Dick Durbin and Patrick Leahy, who have been earning the majority of points. Chuck Hagel and Jim Oberstar have also earned me a good amount of points; however, it seems they are not as active as John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. BeautifulA has earned most of her points because the amount of legislation her top four players have passed is extremely high. Although my top four is fairly active, it is not active enough. Furthermore, I relied on Chuck Hagel to earn me points in the maverick column, which he did; however, BeautifulA's maverick, Melissa Bean, was way more active and earned more than double the points of Hagel. When I did my research on the senators prior to picking them I noticed that the players I chose had higher numbers for legislation passed than Clinton and Kerry; however, they are currently not as active. A couple of reasons I can think of why these two congress members are particularly active is because one is running for the next Presidential election and want to show the public what she stands for and the other may be wanting to prove himself after losing in the previous election. In conclusion, the reason why BeautifulA's team is doing better than mine is very simple. Her players have passed the most legislation and her one maverick is giving her a lot of bonus points. Good for her.
