Thune deflects 2012 talk

Dana Bash caps off a nice profile of SD Sen. John Thune with the necessary nod to future ambitions.

.... ask Thune about a White House run, and he won't go there.

"Now, I'm very focused on re-election," said Thune, whose Senate term is up in 2010.

"I may go across Iowa, but it will be to get somewhere."

With a $5.5 million war chest and no declared opponent, how focused can you be on re-election?

Nice line about Iowa, btw.
