CNN: And we are now switching to, erm, London or Washington DC, where Senator Michael Z is about to hold a press conference...
Michael Z: Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming. I would like to announce that I will not be running in the forthcoming Senatorial elections. I have decided that my priorities lie elsewhere than in the Atlas Senate.
Of course I will support and rally for any candidate who is willing to step into my shoes, be they from the UAC, the United Left, or any other centre/left party, the formation of which I somehow managed to miss out on.
Thank you. No further questions.
Sorry to see you retire. You stopped Reaganfan from becoming a *shudders* Senator.
For that we all owe you a great debt.
