Election Manipulating Mullahs? Decide For Yourself

Okay, let's review. A popular former president runs for the presidency in Iran. He's widely favored to win. He's a moderate. A couple of weeks before the election, the ultra conservative mayor of Tehran jumps in the race. Seemingly against all odds, the ultra conservative guy wins in a nation that we all know for a fact to be pro-American, and favoring a moderate democracy.

Rigged election? I can't say it for a fact, but you can see from the article that "our" candidate, Akbar Rafsanjani, is calling it an illegally rigged election. All things being equal, I'm going to have to agree with him. Reader, if you aren't extremely skeptical about this development, you've not been paying enough attention.
