Does Nixon's Knee apply when the Nixon candidate card is played for 5 CP?
The designer agreed, and the rulebook says a Candidate card played for points resolves like any other card.

Yes, when those 5 CP buy a Campaigning action: the Knee applies and a momentum marker must be expended, and that card's play costs a marker. Spent on advertising or positioning, or played as an event, the Knee does not apply.
