Juanito Update: Marriage of Convenience

The Chuchos, the middle-left group of the PRD that would seem the wing of the party least likely to support a PT candidate, are now backing Rafael "Juanito" Acosta in his bid to renege on his promise to hand over the delegation chief post that he won to Clara Brugada. Background: Brugada was controversially stripped of her PRD candidacy in June, in favor of the Chuchos' choice, Silvia Oliva. Acosta defeated Oliva thanks to support from Brugada's supporters, who were under the assumption that he would give her the job after he won. Now, that seems decreasingly likely.
