I can rephrase my question if necessary: do you think Dean Kamen (or other members of FIRST leadership) would accept a political nomination from any of the major parties? Further, what might his (their) platform be, and how well would it mesh with any of said parties' opinions?

I didn't want to start a fight. Or even a political debate-- as you have said, this really isn't a place. The questions I have asked are all rhetorical and are posed merely for food for thought. But FIRST has become more and more politically motivated in recent years, and in light of the issues being discussed parallel to the 2008 election, I'm wondering if there is any room for FIRST's agenda in national politics.

Again, just something to think about.
