Endorsements
Whenever a presidential or other partisan candidate wins his party's nomination, his former opponents for the nomination usually endorse him, despite of their potent criticisms of the nominee during the campaign. I know that they consider their nominee to be closer to their own views than the candidate of the other party, but how can they endorse people that they ran against? Do you think this makes politicians in general seem "sleazy" because they put their party's goals in place of what they think is right? Or is this a necessary part of the process?
