Last sentence of the article, which is improperly titled for some reason:
>As Mr. Zuckerberg was leaving, he made one request, Mr. Moore said.
>“He said, ‘If there are any news reporters that call you, just make sure you tell them I’m not running for president.’”
The majority of the article is just about how Zuck's entourage worked to try and make his encounters feel more spontaneous. I felt bad for both the tokenized middle Americans and for Zuck, for whom the construction of his social encounters was necessary for security (and lets not kid ourselves, probably PR) reasons. I don't know if he'll run for President but I think for as tacky and PR-related as the trip is, I think he does genuinely want to learn more about the rest of the country, if only to improve Facebook's UX.
That's not an endorsement though. I think he would get crushed in a Presidential campaign.
