Its important to note that all the candidates running are pre-approved by the mullahs. No true reformer is allowed to compete. (Also, Khatami dropped out months ago and endorsed Mousavi.)

That said, Ahmadinejad is a blustering blowhard, and any true engagement with Iran will have to wait until he's gone. Hopefully, that stars today. No candidate is likely to win the majority necessary to avoid a run-off, though, so stay tuned.
