I was thinking that it was more like a script right out of Fatal Attraction!

[Political Junkie Too]

In Fatal Attraction, Michael Douglas did have the affair with Glenn Close, and then Close became obsessed with Douglas.

In The Manchurian Candidate, the changing number of communist infiltrators was meant to distract the media from everything else, while they obsessed on the number of communists instead of what they were planning to do to the candidate.
