That is but one scenario.
Another - and I'm just hypothesizing here....
Say the polls show that "your guy" would get his butt kicked by opponent "A" but would beat opponent "B".
You want your guy in there so you offer this other guy a job.
OR
You have two guys on your team and you owe one a favor whereas the other, although he is technically on your team, doesn't really sign on for everything you want him to - you can't really count on him... So you offer him some outta the way type appointment - say a Czar type unpaid position for 3-6 months till you can give him a paid job
