yeah i suppose that makes sense. When I was in college a guy I knew was running for city council. he was young and vibrant and got the attention of the younger voters. The establishment old lady that had held the office for many years introduced another candidate to the fold: A cooler and even younger candidate that had no chance of winning but he/she succeeded in siphoning off just enough votes to keep her in office. Its a dirty tactic for sure, but politics are always dirty.
