[High Potential]

I don't think Muhammad was a steal at all, man. He has a huge impact on religion, but almost none whatsoever on politics. That was not the best pick for a political draft. Remember - we are judging teams based on political power and political impact. Just because he held a political position doesn't mean he was a great pick in a political draft. He would have been a terrific pick in a religious leaders draft however.

Countries still base their governments around his teachings. He was able to inspire a large mass of people to follow his beliefs, and go to war for him. His religion is still the fastest growing in the world, so my regime would always be gaining new followers if I had Muhammad. If that isn't a politically powerful quality, I don't know what is.

[ForceOfNature]

I select Che Guevera.

He served as minister of industry, president of the national bank, and he was well known as a revolutionary that was a big part of overthrowing Fulgencio Batista. He also was involved in Guatemala's social reforms under its president.

Apparently Soderbergh's "Che" double header is an absolute masterpiece. I can't wait to see them.

[DirtBag]

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland and claimant to the Kingdom of France, from 21 April 1509 until his death. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Henry VIII was a significant figure in the history of the English monarchy. Although in the first parts of his reign he energetically suppressed the Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church, which had been building steam since John Wycliffe of the 14th century, he is more often known for his ecclesiastical struggles with Rome. These struggles ultimately led to him separating the Anglican Church from Roman authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and establishing the English monarch as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Although some claim he became a Protestant on his death-bed, he advocated Catholic ceremony and doctrine throughout his life; royal backing of the English Reformation was left to his heirs, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, while his daughter Mary I fought to return papal authority over the church. Henry also oversaw the legal union of England and Wales (see Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542). He is noted for being married six times.

[vapid]

I choose: Siddhārtha Gautama: Founder of Buddhism and supreme Buddha.

I should have picked him over the Dalai Lama. He was a prince before he became enlightened so he qualifies. Every nation needs a religion/spiritual foundation and the Buddha is the best person to provide this role.

I was going to pick him with my last pick but I realized he had no actual political power, and was merely a teacher, unless you want to say Jesus had political power. Jesus was related to King David, same way Buddha was a prince. Unless you think Deepak Chopra has political power, you should repick.

[vapid]

Being related through blood doesn't make you a prince. Buddha was actually an aristocrat. Jesus was a carpenter.

My nation needs spiritual guidance, and the Buddha is the best leader for that position.

True that. Also who am I to complain, I got Pope Urban II and Muhammad, keep Buddha it's a good pick, I'm guessing though that perhaps others in this draft will be against it. (because they didn't think up the genius pick themselves)

[ForceOfNature]

Hotsizzle on the clock!

vapid, I accept that pick even though it has some question marks. Buddha had very little political power, I don't think it's a wise pick but again, I accept it. Once again guys, remember this is a political draft, it's not judged on religious impact, just political power and political impact, it doesn't matter how great the guy was religiously and spiritually. Just remember that in future picks.
