Odd story in the local press here for about half a news cycle, reporting the State Department disclosure of lobbyists for the far right candidate. A consultancy based around the legacy of a former Nixon pollster, apparently quite active in the region supporting the far right. Insight: a local politician, a friend of the candidate, gave an interview to say that once the election began, he seemed to have a demon, and was saying things he'd never said before. The fellow expressed the hope that his friend would be able to speak as himself after it was all over.
