In recent weeks, a friend from one of my alma maters asked me a question: 'If I vote for X, am I actually voting for Y?' X and Y are closely related and associated to each other.

Of course, one cannot help but take a closer look (a second, third, fourth even) at the candidates' inner circle, not just his working team, but those who are really close to him and those whose opinion carry weight as much as that of the candidates themselves. This information may not be as available or visible as we want it to be, and is dependent on the overall strategy.
