WHY, JUST LIKE CHICAGO - AT 7:10 P.M. ET:  The president of the United States should feel right at home as they count the election results in Iran, which voted for president today.  Ah, it's wonderful when folks overseas copy some of our ways.  From Fox News:

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's interior ministry said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took nearly 70 percent of the early votes counted, but his pro-reform rival countered that he was the clear victor and warned of possible fraud in the election.

The dispute rose up even before polls closed early Saturday, heightening tensions across the capital where emotions have been running at a fever pitch. Mir Hossein Mousavi, the reformist candidate, suggested he might challenge the results.

COMMENT:  It's time for Al Gore's lawyers from 2000 to get on planes and rush over.  Don't be shocked if we're told that the deciding votes will come from a place called Floridastan.  And we know who'll steal this election.  BUSH (!!).
