This could involve the players or not, or you could have it as background "news" for flavor.Then, you have the bombastic guy against <fill-in-the-blank> for the general election.  The opponent is again way out in front in the polls of bombastic guy, and there could be all sorts of ways to get involved: the bombastic guy maybe tips his hand somehow; or the "regular" pol gets wind of something and approaches the players for help/protection; or maybe the small core of followers starts to get violent...and, maybe a female follower shakes herself free of the mind control and approaches the players, saying that he has an army of enslaved women and intends to use his new platform as governor, senator or president to enslave women across the country.</blockquote>
