They say Ahmadinejad on telephone because they are afraid to tell they vote Mousavi. So please dont be stupid and think Ahmadinejad win, hes stoled the votes of peoples. it is a biggest ever lie this election.

They probably both have beards but ya know who I mean. Sheesh that's bad grammar, I need a translator...

It is the scale of his victory and the fact that he apparently won in places like Tehran and Mousavi's home town that make the scale of his supposed victory lacking in credibility. I also do not believe that opinion polls are remotely trustworthy in a police state such as this. I am sure that this was conducted to high professional standards but if you were an iranian and a stranger rang you one evening asking you how you planned to vote, what would you say? whether or not Ahmadinejad might have actually won is kinda mute.
