I keep saying this to anyone who will listen — I doubt very much that he's interested in running for anything. As CEO of Facebook, if he's not as powerful as a US president yet, he very well might be in 5 or 10 years. He hinted in his globalization "manifesto"[1] that he wants Facebook to become what the UN could not be.
