Subject: RE: BS: Election in Iran
It would appear on the face of it that Mousavi should win, given the thousands of student activists calling for it.

However the current president is strongly backed by Khamenei, the real power of government, the Supreme Leader. What does that do to Ahmadinejad's chances?

And what about the army? Who do they support?
