I have a hard time seeing a well-meaning eccentric with a Santa identity and a Travis-Bickle-type being painted with the same brush.
Also I'm betting your Bailiff Uncle actually does have a fair number of powerful judges, aldermen, and attorneys who know him and look on him in a good light. I would consider those connections. I wonder what he thinks of his nephew who managed to get a paying gig for a campaign and now thinks he's in a position to label supporters as delusional wacks.
Anyone who makes the step into actual political activity could probably be considered wacky in some respect, I think that's more the norm than the exception.
