Is Christopher Cox running for president?

As Ron observes, the SEC chairmanship is "Not exactly a launch pad, it's more of a hot seat." And not since Joseph Kennedy helped his son into office has there been much of a path of any kind between the SEC and the Oval Office.

I've commented on Cox's political background before. But here we see it in action — this is exactly the sort of activity one sees from Congress. (In fact, Congress just held a similar event.) And while it's not without merit, it's hard to take it seriously when so many other substantive issues loom unresolved.
