And to prove that he meant to be as unshakable as William Tecumseh Sherman ("If nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve"), Scranton added, "I am not going to run for Congress this year-or ever. I am not going to run for the U.S. Senate in 1968-or ever. I am not going to run for the presidency in 1968-or ever...
