Well, it's not reeeally official, but how can the Huffington Post's #5 most sexiest Senator keep himself out of the biggest popularity contest in the world? In this 13 minute[!] segment with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Thune pretty much announces that he'll be running. It's called reading the tea leaves (leafs?), people.

I'm happy to say that this comes as no surprise to me. I was hip to all that jazz exactly a year ago! [Too bad Air America took all my content to the grave with them, otherwise you'd be able to read my brilliant post on the subject.]

Watch Thune's CNN infomercial below. 

 Good luck, Johnny! It will be so much fun watching you attempt to out-conservative Sarah Palin during your Tea Party induced primary purity test!
