Add to the fact that he always seems to be riding daddy's coattails, using the famous surname to get more media exposure than most would get.
Exactly. I don't get why Liberals think this clown is the heir apparent. He's not Bobby Kennedy taking JFK's place, he's JFK's spoiled-brat, retarded nephew, William Kennedy Smith. He's not Michael Corleone becoming the Don in Vito Corleone's wake, he's the feable-minded coward, Fredo. The Liberals need a young, progressive leader if they have any hope of rebuilding their party (let alone forming a government) over the next couple of elections. They need a new Pierre Trudeau, not just any Trudeau. The sooner they admit Justin Trudeau isn't that man the better the Liberals' chances are.

I had kind of hoped Gerard Kennedy would have won back in 2006, but unfortunately Dion did. I see Justin Trudeau as too close ideologically to Dion and the rest of the hard core left wingers in the Liberal Party.
I'll admit that they are the party I would normally vote for however, the past few leaders have been ineffective and the party platforms they've espoused are too far left from my own political POV. I especially don't care for their anti-military attitude.
On the flip side, calling Harper the boogeyman of Canadian politics is hardly any worse than some of the things Harper has said about the Liberals while he was in opposition (or during recent campaigns).
