When the family business is politics...it only makes sense to prepare the offspring for succession.
So it seems with Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner.
After 2 terms...she is currently not allowed to run for re-election.
Her daughter Florencia, 21, is seen as a partier...but eldest son Maximo, 34 (foto) though intense and private...is the founder of an influential and growing youth group La Campora... and possibly a candidate to succeed Cristina in 2015.
A big roadblock...Maximo reportedly doesn't get along with new VP Amado Boudou, 50, the French guitar strumming, moto riding wild child...and presumptive heir.
