Is Fantasy Congress biased towards left-wing Democrats?

Well, is it? I've come to the conclusion that Fantasy Congress is an imperfect analysis of House and Senate.

I think it is biased against conservative Republicans. I've always been a believer that the government that governs least governs best and to that end, the pieces of legislation you author or support, don't determine the quality of your governance. In fact, working behind the scenes to defeat legislation is oftentimes more in the interest of the electorate especially given that so many interest groups are the ones writing the legislation and the Senator just attaches his or her name.

On the question of federalism, a congressman who has a narrow view of what Congress ought to be legislating, isn't likely to win points.

What's more, there are very few Republican Senators running and therefore they are much less likely to make the news than the traditionally executive oriented politicians. (Oh how I long for the Goldwater days when you would actually resign your Senate seat than go campaigning for President at the same time you were in office as a Senator, but I digress.)

As more attendance, you can horse trade and being on the Senate floor or House floor isn't always that important. What's more important is what goes on in committee.
