It's inevitable at every event. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been asked about running for president so many times that The New York Times did a story earlier this month on all the different ways the question has been posed.
But until Saturday night, it hadn't been asked quite this way.
The moment came during the closing session of the Clinton Global Initiative University conference at Arizona State University in Tempe. Clinton was sharing the stage with husband Bill and daughter Chelsea, in a forum hosted by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
Minutes before the end, a student from University of California-Berkeley approached the microphone. She noted that Manal al-Sharif, the women's rights activist from Saudi Arabia, had been on stage the night before and had been encouraged during the session to run for office there some day, with the question: "If you don't represent women in Saudi Arabia in politics, who will?"
The student then turned the question on Hillary Clinton, saying, "Mrs. Clinton, if you don't represent women in politics in America as future president, who will?"
Clinton beamed and laughed as the crowd cheered loudly.
She first responded, "You have done your education well. That was very well asked and presented."
"I appreciate the sentiment," Clinton said, telling the student, "I am very much concerned about the direction of our country." She added, "It's not just who runs for office, but what they do once they get there."
Pushed by Kimmel for a more direct answer, Clinton said she was getting to it. But the best the crowd got was, "I'm obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions."
When Kimmel jokingly asked if the decisions included another child for her and the former president, she said, "I wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren I hear so much about."

TEMPE, Ariz. Young voters gave Hillary Clinton trouble in the 2008 presidential race and its not clear whether theyll warm to her should she campaign for president again in 2016.
But Mrs. Clinton has ample opportunity to make inroads with teens and 20-somethings as she spends the rest of the year considering whether to run.
This weekend proved to be one such occasion.
Mrs. Clinton made several appearances before the 1,000 college students who turned out for Clinton Global Initiative University, a project of her familys charitable foundation.
She took part in a panel with her husband and daughter Chelsea on Saturday night, fielding questions from students and late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel.
She also gave introductory remarks at a panel devoted to higher education, previewing what could be her message to young voters if she jumps in the race.
She laid out one of the main problems confronting young people the grim job market.
There are six million young people in this country between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither employed nor in school, she said. And even for a young person with a college degree its difficult to find a good job.
She talked about the importance of finding work, tying it to her own biography. Mrs. Clinton mentioned she had learned things in every job she held, beginning with a part-time gig at a park in the Chicago suburbs when she was 13. The job posed a logistical challenge how to find a way to haul board games and a volleyball to the park to keep the kids entertained, she said. With her father using the car to get to work and her bicycle insufficient for the task, she wound up pulling a wagon.
She said she prayed nobody I knew would ever see me as I was going by their homes.
