Talk about opportunity! Here Dean's been telling us for the last few years to contact our politicians and get them to come to FIRST events, and now we end up with some of the most influential politicians in the country descending on the backyard of FIRST
at the same time as the FRC Kickoff.
I sure hope FIRST figures out a way to capitalize on these circumstances. As great as Dean's speech may be

, certainly getting one of the presidential candidates (and their entourage of media personal with cameras) would prove much more beneficial for a greater recognition of FIRST in this country.
