"I do have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."

-- Actor and director Ben Affleck, talking with Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation," about speculation that he would fill the vacant seat left by Sen. John Kerry if he takes over as Secretary for State. The "Argo" director added "I've got a lot on my plate," which is true -- "Argo" is a potential Oscar nominee.
