Does Nixon's Knee apply when Whistle Stop is played as an event to get a Campaigning action?
The designer ruled on the 'played as' wording, though two posters dispute the Whistle Stop reading.

No. The designer says restrictions on 'playing a card as' a Campaigning action do not reach CP that an event grants, so Whistle Stop played as an event is not a Campaigning action and costs no momentum under Nixon's Knee. Nixon's Pledge still gives Kennedy a marker in that case, because playing the card as an event is not playing it as a Campaigning action.
