The fiery, monthlong campaign unleashed passions and tensions. The mass rallies, polished campaign slogans, savvy Internet outreach and televised debates more closely resembled Western elections than the scripted campaigns in most other Middle Eastern countries.
President Barack Obama said Iran's "robust debate" leading up to elections shows change is possible there, and it could boost U.S. efforts to engage Tehran's leadership.
I can see Obama sitting down with Mousavi and trying to do some kind of engagement type thing. Almadinajoke will just spout the same old anti-Israel rhetoric and deny the Holocaust. Plus getting the Iranian youth into the election for the first time might make for a historic change in Iran. That is if their guy wins of course.
