ABC News (Australia) -- Iran's looming presidential election is promising to be a cliff-hanger, with a record turnout expected from Iran's 42 million eligible voters. The sudden emergence of grassroots support for Mousavi is threatening the otherwise smooth return to power of the hardline, but populist incumbent Ahmoud Ahmadinejad.

We should not forget that
by nojanthegreat on Fri Jun 12, 2009 06:49 AM PDTWe should not forget that mussavi was last prime minister of Iran , who were in power during the war and during the dark summer of 1368.
He did nothing to protect mojahedin and todeh and he did nothing to end the war when it could be ended.
So he is no angle for sure.
He uses youth who don’t really know about his back ground and he is using all those lovely and sweet words.
We cant fix the economic and jobs if we don’t pay our tax, and start working for a change .
I bet 90% of his supporters never hold a job.
Election is a good start, but we need to follow up.
I don't get it!
by I wonder (not verified) on Fri Jun 12, 2009 06:42 AM PDTI am not going to vote since I don't believe in the system altogether but I don't understand why those who have decided not to vote are chiding those who are voting.
I don't expect anything from the "REAL" opposition inside because they are afraid for their lives and wouldn't dare say anything against the regime, but the so called "REAL" opposition (not the ones who are pro-IRI and call themselves "Opposition")have not done jack shit for the last 30 years, in spite of living in the free world and having access to everything!
Have you offered a real tangible alternative to this regime to those who want to see the regime GONE but have decided to go and vote any way and participate in that IRI government controlled sham of an election? Have you? what are you complaining about? What do you expect of them? Have you offered them a way out? Suppose thye all pour out in millions and send the regime to the dustbin of history, who will take over Iran? who will replace them?
MKO people want their leaders and refuse others, Monarchists want their leaders and refuse others, Republicans want their leaders and refuse others,
Communists, Socialists want their leaders and refuse others, So what do you get? complete chaos and quite possibly a CIVIL war!

A joke!
by Sassan (not verified) on Fri Jun 12, 2009 12:48 AM PDTThese "elections" are a joke and everybody knows it! This is pure theatre, like a rigged boxing match where the gangsters have already picked the winner -- a winner who will try his best to help the survival of the Islamic fascist dictatorship!
These people who show up to these staged rallies are either as ignorant as a bag of dirt or are in the payroll of the mullah regime, or because of the disasterous economy, they're merely showing up to collect their $5 bucks and have a free lunch.
Death to the Islamic Dictatorship!
They are all same
by tehran (not verified) on Thu Jun 11, 2009 10:17 PM PDTAll these candidates are the same at the end. Iran is not a democracy it's an islamic theocracy, and until people can really vote freely for whom ever they want( not just 4 people elected by the regime)we all have to fight against this dictatorship.

To Voters: You must be
by Anonymous2322 (not verified) on Thu Jun 11, 2009 08:18 PM PDTTo Voters: You must be smoking the same thing that every other right-winger in the world is smoking. Acting tough and violent doesn't gain you any respect in the world. If anything, Iran had much more respect, sympathy, and acceptance from the world(especially Western Europe) during the Khatami era where we had a more civilized government. Like Mousavi says, Ahmadinejad has further destroyed Iran's reputation around the world and united the world against Iran's nuclear energy program. Standing up for our country's right to nuclear energy is a must, but the way Ahmadinejad has been doing it is just idiotic and looking for trouble. Anyone with half a brain will vote this nut job out of office.

by Ali P. on Thu Jun 11, 2009 07:19 PM PDTGood comment!
Musavi? Not
by Voters (not verified) on Thu Jun 11, 2009 04:23 PM PDTAhmadinejad is clearly smarter and more articulate that musavi, not to forget he has far more charisma. Musavi is the prefered man for the western world as they'll man handle him and make Iran insignificant as they did during the Khatami/Musavi era before Ahmadinejad.
