(STRAY THOUGHTS) Topic: What's In A Name?

So, I was reading The American Prospect's wrap-up and analysis of the Democratic victories in this month's mid-term elections when I came across the name of the newly elected Democratic senator from the great, but tiny, state of Rhode Island and I just had to wonder if this guy has ever entertained any thoughts about running for President of the United States someday. Given his name, it almost seems predestined that he will.

The senator-elect in question goes by the handle of Sheldon Whitehouse.
