Lenin? Lenin was a key member of the revolution but after that he got exiled to Siberia and then killed with an ice pick.
How is that political power?

That was trotsky. Lenin died of natural causes.
The worst pick so far has been Leonidas. Sure, he was a great military strategist, but so were all Spartan Kings. His name is only recognised because Frank Miller made a movie about Thermopylae. Not to mention, when the spartans (+ their Helot conscripts and 700 Thespians) made their last stand he was one of the first to die. Most of the casualties were not dished out under his command. And, of course, recieving Power through heritage rather than work and ambition doesnt say much in a 'political powers' draft. If you wanted someone from the Persian Wars, Themistocles, or the later Pericles, would have been better picks.

[Doomsday Dallas]

You know, I was thinking about this... I think I am going to allow him. But remember - it's his POLITICAL impact that counts, not his social impact so pick at your own risk.

I'll give you my 4th, 6th, & 8th round pick, for Abe Lincoln and your 9th & 10th round pick.

My apologies, I've had what comes down to as, minimal time. I'll have to do it after three.

Unacceptable.

There are some interesting combinations to this point, such as Dirtbag's pairing of an expansive conqueror like Alexander with Nelson Mandela. Doomsday's selections are interesting to see how it ends up.

It is also clear there is one poster who is struggling more than any other whether that be a lack of education/information or plain ignorance.

The only power my team has is in their words. Sadly enough, my team would be the first to die if they had to battle some of the other people mentioned above.

But... My team was concidered so dangerous to others opposing teams,... that they had to be either asassinated or publically criticized by the Mass Media.

So with that said... I'll be looking to draft Bobby Kennedy in the later rounds. I need a good back-up QB.

Ron Paul is my WR, and MLK is my RB...

I'll get some good Military LBs, and Linemen later on... Military Generals that know how to defend when it's nessasary.

[Lebron23]

LeBron23 selects George Washington, first President of the United States of America, and one of the greatest War General in History.

[brantonli]

To be honest, surprised nobody picked Churchill, but I guess it was to be expected.
