Presidential Election in Iran Very Close

Iran's hard-line president accused his election rivals of using "Hitler" smear tactics to sway voters ahead of Friday's national vote — adding that they should face jail for insulting him.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused made the allegations during his final rally ahead of Friday's vote. Thousands of supporters waved Iranian flags and chanted slogans against Ahmadinejad's main opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi.

"No one has the right to insult the president, and they did it. And this is a crime. The person who insulted the president should be punished, and the punishment is jail," Reuters quotes Ahmadinejad speaking to supporters outside Tehran's Sharif University.

"Such insults and accusations against the government are a return to Hitler's methods, to repeat lies and accusations ... until everyone believes those lies," he said. - FOX News Story

This guy would never make it in American Politics. We all know that at least 50% of what a politician says during an election is pure BS, the other 50% is possible but not likely to come true.
