A very impressive filibuster to hold off the appointment of CIA Director John Brennan ended after almost 13 hours. The Senator now has the media talking about whether or not he will run for President in 2016. I'm sure all he wants to do is take off his shoes, eat then go to sleep. I would be very surprised if he ran but if he does it maybe to follow in the foot steps of his father and he (like his father) would not expect to win the nomination or the White House. Its all for show.
