Ever wonder how a candidate’s stature effects his chance of getting into office?
To help evaluate that question, The New York Times put together a fantastic chart of the presidential candidate pairings to see if there are any trends, and found some interesting results.

Baseball Boss is like a Fantasy Baseballer’s dream come true.
Designed to be the ultimate interactive baseball game, users can create teams using real major league players from 1907 or 2007, and then test and tweak those teams until they’re the best that they can be.
Once a team has been assembled, players can then challenge other players in real games, and using a combination of chance and statistics, a computer determines the winner.
New features are constantly being added, and it’s made by Challenge Games, who also developed Duels, so you know it’s going to have some great support behind it.
