I end up with 92 points. I did not do excellent on points, but I learn a lot. First of all I learn how to search the web, do blogs, and most important I learn about politicians. Now I have better understanding about how congress work and I appreciated congress better.
I also learn the importance of voting, legislations, and how important the press is for the parties.
What I think I would change about the game will be to focus more on moving the most important players which I think will be senators to get more points. I also will like the game to focus more on how to obtain easy information about legislations. So in conclusion this gamewas an excelent learning experience.

Fantasy Congress #5
FC #5
Pinkdiamond17's is doin great with 1257 legislations and 1085 cosponsor. Base on my knowledge and what I read she is doing better than my team Pikipu because of the bills pass. Each bill can gane up to 80 points. Pinkdiamong has a total of 151 points.
My perception is that she is doing better than me because she may have more experience or she dedicate more time reading about politicians and move her tieam accordingly to the moste recently events.
I'm on the other hand do not have lots of experience in computers and it is very hard for me to get involve in the Fantasy Congress as much as I want to. I expend more of the time reading and understanding out book.
I have 465 legislations and 829 cosponsor which gave me a total of 90 points.
Congratulations to Pinddiamond.

Blog entry #3 COMPARE CONTRAST AND VOTING STYLE
The sites more appeal to me were Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and Bill Richardson. First of all I admired Hillary and Giuliani and I find interesting Richardson campaing. All of them have the same interest get the popular vote. However, the way Hillary campaing is more personal. She has direct contact with the middle class and more family oriented. All focuses on Health care at different levels. Richardson and Giuliani has more in common both are focus on Iraq, Energy, Health Care, and Immigration. Hillary on the other hand differ from both of them and the only goals in common are Iraq heath issues.
Giuliani wants to end illigal immigration, secure borders, cut taxes, and make an affordable health care. He wants to increase adoption and decrease abortions. He is a leader and has a very strong desire to prepare everyone for terrist attacks.
Giuliani serve two terms as mayor.
Bill Richardson wants to reform immigration and secure borders. He thinks that is time to make a choice in Iraq. He promese to follow the Constitution America needs and deserves without trampling on the Constitution and personal freedoms. Very positive comment about him. Dave Ontario said in his comment. "United States no longer can afford on-the-job diplomatic training and needs a President with the kind of international expereience that only Bill Richardson has."
Hillary on the other hand focussed on people. She is determine to provide a better health program. She has the vision and the experience to make it a reality. She promote Energy indeprendence and fighting global warming. She promise to end war in Iraq. She is very consious, simple, and compation. By doing a bus road she has gain the symphaty of the middle cass citizens.
I definitely will cast my vote for Hillary. I admired a woman with such determination, good heart, and humble. I wil vote prospective because I beleived in her and I have faith that she will do more than anybody else for the ones needed the most.

Responsible party elections: It is the first way that two-party sistem affect democratic control of governmen.

Media voter: The exact midpoint of the political spectrum.
Electoral reward and punishment: election in which voters judge how will a group in power has govern and decides if they want this group to continue in office.

Caucuses: Instead of primaries few states use Caucuses where active party members and offcials gather in meetings around the states to choose delegates who in turn select the delegates to the national conventions.
Some primaries are open to all voters and some are closed only for those whom register with the party holding the primary elections.
