Go Musavi! Go!
By all reasonable poll estimates, it looks like Hossein Musavi is poised to sweep th election from Ahmadinejad in Iran. To say the least, this is excellent news (Musavi is hardly a saint, but he is very moderate as far as middle eastern leaders go and is a solid step in the right direction for Iran).
This will likely be the most exciting elections in recent years, ever. I'm no so naive as to think that Ahmad won't at least attempt to cheat his way to victory, but with his waning political support lately, I'm dubious he could pull it off successfully.
Go get that bastard, Masavi! Those ballots are as good as yours!

... 1 question
What odds... would... oh lets say... Vegas, give on Musavi being assassinated before or after the election results are in?
What Would Kharn Do?
I only can say that for the sake of the people of Iran,that a new leader can help Iran's standing in the world.Power to the People !
Signature ? How ?
Countdown till someone shows up to defend Ahmadinejad for his courage in standing up to imperialistic powers in the west begins now.

No doubt I'll be proven wrong, but I'm dubious of that. One of Hossein's primary selling points is that he is not weak on western influence (though his other is that he is not entirely hostile to the outside world); for example, your courageous gunning down of Iran Air 655 his party has said it will be seeking an apology and compensation for (not that I expect they'd get either. Nothing says, 'Made in the USA' like a pile of dead civilians nobody will take accountability for).

He's handing out potatoes in exchange for votes, so he must be a little worried at least.

Heh, sorry, I meant the other guy, Ahmadinejad, is handing out potatoes for votes.

I keep hearing how he's done lots of things for the poor in his country, but if he can still buy them with spuds, he probably didn't do all that much.
Unfortunatly, he's probably going to win.
