I swear I thought of this a while back, but thought that it wouldn't be successful. Plus, I had no idea where to start.

Here's my team, split evenly between Dems and Reps:




Members in this team:

Allstars:

Barney Frank Active MA-04 Points: 0
Chris Shays Active CT-04 Points: 0
Dana Rohrabacher Active CA-46 Points: 0
Henry Waxman Active CA-30 Points: 0


Supporting Lineup:

Jane Harman Active CA-36 Points: 0
Robert Wexler Active FL-19 Points: 0
Ron Paul Active TX-14 Points: 0
John Shadegg Active AZ-03 Points: 0


Rookies:

Rahm Emanuel Active IL-05 Points: 0
Jeff Flake Active AZ-06 Points: 0
Stephanie Herseth Active SD Points: 0
Marsha Blackburn Active TN-07 Points: 0


Upper Senator:

Chuck Hagel Active NE Points: 0
John McCain Active AZ Points: 0


Lower Senator:

Barack Obama Active IL Points: 0
Chuck Schumer Active NY Points: 0


Unfortunately, their database is based on the 109th Congress, not the new Congress coming in. So I'll probably have to draft again.

I'm leading you. McCain and Obama are kicking butt(55 points between them).

I've got 85 points total to your 75.
