Partly out of my interest in improving LGBT rights, but mostly because George Takei is awesome, I was wondering if it was possible to get George Takei elected President of the US? Presumably as a Democrat (I believe he was once an alternate delegate to the DNC in 1972), but bonus points if he does it as a Republican.
Looking through his Wikipedia page I can see that he has attempted to run for public office a couple of times, first running for a seat on the Los Angeles City Council in 1973, which he lost by 1,647 votes, and again as a California State Assemblyman in 1980, which he pulled out of for a number of reasons related to work and the accusation that his history on Star Trek gave him an unfair advantage. He also served on the board of directors for the Southern California Rapid Transit District between 1973 and 1984, which planned and initiated the Los Angeles subway system.
Presumably if he had successfully ran and won the assembly seat it could be the first step on a political career that leads to the White House?
