Everyone knows that Chuck Hagel has a great deal of interest in the presidency. One of the reasons that I like the guy is that he's going about seeking it in ways that aren't painfully (aka Bill Frist) obvious and expected, and obfuscates with panache when pressed about it (while at the same time making his intentions perfectly clear). Consider this line - "I hope to be in position to have the option of entertaining the possibility of running for president." That's a great line.
Actually, it reminds me of another great line - when Margot says "I couldn't even begin to think about knowing how to answer that question" in The Royal Tenenbuams.
