Please get rid of the current president. He is out of his mind.

The mullahs have the last say in these Potemkin elections.

If Ahmadinejad loses I would still like to see him "debate" with Obama.

Never gonna happen. Obama is careful to never expose himself to any potential loss of status.

"The battle for the presidency turned nasty at times - especially during Western-style televised debates"
They must have consulted the Obama and McCain campaigns.

Iranian expats in the United States can vote at any one of the more than thirty polling stations set up around the country.
The Great Satan!
Looks like Japan is also accommodating Iranians abroad.

Gee, that's funny, teleprompter. In the thread titled Obama calls for new beginning between U.S., Muslims, you had this to say on June 7: Obama has spoken. So let the Lebanese (June 7) and the Iranians (June 12) in their respective elections show the world that Mohammedans are ready to also try dialogue and diplomacy.
Since you now declaring this a Potemkin election, and therefore impossible for the Iranians to "show the world," you are clearly contradicting yourself. We understand how easy it must be for you to paint yourself into the kind of corner where neither Obama nor the Iranians can win, no matter what the result, but it must be very difficult to explain how you keep finding yourself there.
You actually sounded as though you wished Ahmadinejad to win just so you could take another dig at President Obama.

If the election is fair I'm guessing Ahmadinejad gets the boot. The Iranian people really don't want to be social pariahs nore are they interested in an iron fisted anti-western ruler. It's time for Iran to join the rest of the world in dialogue something made much easier if the incumbent loses power.

I hope that our President's speech had some effects on the people of Iran!
Your right, no US President would ever lower themselves to the level of Ahmadinejad, he is a nut. I am glad to see that you far right wingers support our Presidents choice not to lower himself.
BRAVO ZULU for speaking up like a real Patriot!
Freedom Fries anyone?LOL

It is a Potemkin election because of the way the Iranian Republic is set up. Remember, they are only electing a president, not members of the Supreme Council.
All you are doing is showing that you did not inform yourself before posting.

Gee, so that's what it means by "Potemkin election?"
How are members of the Supreme Council selected, and what is the extent of their powers under the Iranian constitution.
By your reckoning, since the people do not elect the members of the Supreme Court in the constitutional republic known as the United States, our elections for president must all be Potemkin elections.
