I think you are getting this a little mixed up. In the film "All the Presidents Men", Robert Redford played the role of Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, and the film told the story surrounding the Watergate scandal. Perhaps you just had a long day at the office.
The movie he's thinking of was The Candidate. Redford is running for the senate, not the presidency, and it's against an incumbent who can't lose; so the run him just to have some opposition. When he does win, he doesn't want to be there.
