He introduces himself by saying, "My name is Nick I'm running for mayor and was hoping I could count on your vote."
My neighbor introduces himself as the current mayor and Nick immediately turns red faced with embarrassment. He didn't even know what the current mayor looked like, where he lived or anything like that. Like I say, its a small town so it's not like it is a big secret who the guy is or where he lives.
My neighbor invited him to sit, have a beer and talk about the campaign and the city, but the guy apologized and hauled ass out of there. It was kind of funny.

Awww...you had an opportunity to REALLY fuck with him there. After figuring out he had no idea who the mayor looked like, your friend shoulda went "...just kidding!" Had him sit down and talk everything over with him. Maybe ask stuff about his life, etc. or better yet, try to get him drunk or at least more open with beer and open up about sort of intimate details of his life.
Then, if there's ever some sort of public debate where your friend knows this guy will show up, make sure your friend doesn't set up any posters/photos with his picture, have your friend show up first and have him sort of obscure his appearance around the time the other guy is to show up...then when the guy is close by, he can have one of those sort of "here's Johnny!" moments with a sort of smile that everyone else will think is a normal smile but the other guy will think is a psycho smile, and watch him really run, lol. Then your friend looks at the crowd, shrugs and says "...well guess that means I'm still mayor!" and everyone has a hearty laugh while the guy is busy hauling ass out of town.
Probably couldn't possibly work since your friend probably intro'd himself by name, but would be hilarious.
