I remember when I ran for President. I was the frontrunner for most of the race since my opponent the_beez_kneez has unpopular censorship policies, but then Dr.Strangmeme entered the race later on and campaigned as a centrist on the free speech issue that was the dominating issue in that election. He was very popular and picked up a lot of my former supporters, so in an attempt to regain my momentum I selected who_am_i as my running-mate, but Dr.Strangmeme was still ahead of me and since we were splitting the conservative vote beez had a chance to win. So Dr.Strangmeme offered to be more pro-free speech and give me a position in his government if I dropped out, and since I had little chance of winning and might have even helped beez win, I realised this was my best option so I agreed. And looking back I still think it was worth it since Strangmeme was such a great President and I became the first ever Head of Congress.
