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.

I really twisted way of thinking. The fact that he gave it a go, failed, then promptly quite politics makes me question his resolve. What was he in it for? Why did he not continue on in some capacity with the Liberal party? The fact is he failed, and promptly bailed out, a man of convenience.
