My comment:
(a) carry water for
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/carry_water_for

(b) Speaking on background or being quoted unnamed is not really reliable. In any event, I do not think something like this is intereference with another nation.
(c) Most important, most people do not think foreign interference works in a domestic election.
(i) Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek failed miserable in the 1948 US presidential election. To his chagrin, Truman was re-elected.

Instead, the swimmers started in a southward direction before heading west toward Taiwan. Aside from the current, the team also had to overcome 2.5 meter-high waves brought on by two nearby storms and other dangers at sea.")
