Summary
Lizzie and friends are frustrated--the only candidates for school president are super-popular cheerleader Claire Miller and oddball Larry Tudgeman, who promises to eat a worm for every vote he gets. Gordo encourages Lizzie to run as a "normal" candidate and Miranda seconds the motion. Lizzie agrees to do it. Gordo is her gung-ho campaign manager as she runs on a "voice of the people" platform. Lizzie starts to gain confidence, even enough to tell off Claire and Kate. Gordo thinks she should schmooze the "second-tier" popular kids in the drama club, so Lizzie puts on her shades and black leather and tries to get in good with them. Miranda is annoyed that Lizzie is blowing off the less popular kids and groups to hang with the drama club. Lizzie starts to develop a prima donna attitude and now Gordo has to agree that he has helped create a monster in candidate Lizzie. The big surprise on election day is that underdog Larry wins. Lizzie must face Miranda and Gordo after the election but they are forgiving. Also, Matt begins talking about Jasper, his imaginary friend. Mr. and Mrs. McGuire are concerned that Matt is too old to be having such a playmate. They give him extra attention--and presents--but Jasper won't go away. Then Mom hears him on the phone telling his friend how his plan is working perfectly.

Bloopers
- The writers of this episode used Lizzie drinking coffee to be in with the drama club as a metaphor for smoking. Miranda confirms this by saying that drinking coffee stains your teeth and makes your breath smell.
- Gordo tells Lizzie not to smile since the Drama Club doesn't smile. Yet when she walks over to their table she smiles at them and the drama club members can be seen smiling at other points during the episode.
- At the end, when Larry wins the election he says "...and Jar Jar Binks Rules!" after he says that the "Trekkie" club stands up and gives him a hug! Yet a true Trekkie probably wouldn't have done that since Star Trek and Star Wars have been long time box office rivals.
- Gordo states the Claire did a kick and knocked over Larry's bowl of worms, but Larry was always seen carrying around a bucket.
- After the election, Lizzie is wearing black sunglasses on her head, but in the next scene at the Digital Bean, they've been replaced with a black headband.
