Rotisserie Politics

Perhaps you've heard of Rotisserie Baseball? No? Well here's a little definition,

The idea is to simulate owning and managing your very own baseball team comprised of actual players. You select your players from the rosters of teams in the American or National leagues and compete against other teams in your own unique league. The batting and pitching stats that your players generate in real life fuel the competition in your rotisserie league. The winner gets a trophy, a cash award, or any other prize your league decides. It's the next best thing to owning a major league baseball franchise!

That's why I've come up with an idea for a new type of game. ..

I like to call it "Rotiserrie Politics". The concept is the same as Rotiserrie Baseball. All of the US Presidents are quantified on various measures of their performance. For example, Bill Clinton would be graded high for his charisma but receive a low rating for integrity. Jimmy Carter might be rated high for his knowledge of nuclear submarines. Richard Nixon might be rated based on his understanding of dirty tricks. Then the members of the league would actually run a fantasy campaign against other past presidents.

I would find it quite entertaining to see someone like Woodrow Wilson face off against Ronald Reagan. Or Teddy Roosevelt could face off against Abraham Lincoln. Candidates from the same party could even participate in primaries.

With a whole lot of hard work it would be great fun. Which is why someone with a whole lot more time on their hands needs to finish with this little "invention" of mine.
