Senator John Thune says he's not thinking beyond the Nov. 2010 election, even though he has no opponent and received media mention in Washington this week as a possible GOP candidate for president in 2012.
The South Dakota Republican says the GOP needs to win House and Senate seats this year to restore the balance of power in Congress.
He plans to campaign for GOP candidates in other states.
Thune says he's received some encouragement about running for president, but his response has been to focus on Nov. 2010 and let 2012 take care of itself.
