It makes me question his dedication as a politician, for example Harper said he fully expects to become Prime Minister of Canada, and he did just that. And it was not by giving up so easily.
How was he to know unless he tried? Is there some magic ball or computer program he could have checked before he ran?

That is why people run for elected office, to try and make a difference. He failed and moved on. However, to suggest he never try at all is absurd.

The man has pedigree, he is educated, has good connections, and brings his own ideas to the table. You may not think he would make a good PM, but I do for the reasons I stated.

I am really sick of the Con stance that the only people that should run are Harper neo-cons. The rest are aloof communists.
