The best chance for reformists to win the upcoming presidential elections
There's going to be another presidential election in Iran in June 2009. Another chance for the reformists to get their candidate elected to the office of Presidency. Everyone in the reformists' camp agrees that they cannot afford another four years of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency.
