His own family migrated to Tehran from the provincial village of Aradan, and--as embarrassing as Tehranis find his rural accent, clothes, and demeanor--to villagers, the presence of one of their own in high office is nothing short of empowering. Ahmadinejad has literally handed out money in the provinces, even printing extra currency to do so. He has the undying loyalty of many of these villagers, and he is going to need it. © 2009, CBS Interactive Inc.

In reality, it was grassroots groups like American Family Association that had more to do with the largest anti-tax protests in U.S. history.
