I do have some small experience & knowledge there. My partner interned with think tanks, NGO's, embassies, and almost with the White House in D.C. I've done some volunteer work with NGO's in the city (mostly research and a little bit o' congressional lobbying) so I wouldn't be approaching it completely cold. There would still be a lot of research to do for it, which would be fun, but I'd really rather read it than write it myself.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll certainly let it simmer in my subconscious. :)
