The thing about that is, FIRST isn't politics. And, as much as many of us enjoy FIRST more, politics affect us a lot more. It's great to see other people succeed, but in FIRST, we still get to go home to a warm house, a nice school, and parents who feel like they're worth something, even when we lost to the rookie team. In the political world, it's a whole different story, so it does make sense that we would approach it with a different mentality.
