Naaah. There is one too many politician wannabees in aviation already.

Jim I'll bet you'll agree that the more GA pilots we have have
government, the better off we'll be. I specify "GA" pilots, becasuse
John McCain, whom I admire, is, unfortunately, NOT a friend of GA.

To get back to the original suggestion, I suspect Burt Rutan would be
as big a disaster as a President as Bush or Kerry would as aircraft
designers.
