Who will be the regime's next puppet?
The insane incumbent Ahmadinejad or some other loon hand-picked by Ayatollah Khamenei and the mullahs of the Guardian Council?
Afterall they are the ones who decide who can run in the elections and by definition therefore the outcome of the election!
The populace will engage in the charade of voting. Poor things need something to get excited about... but... it will be all for nought!!
Election rules
Who can run: Candidates for president must be Muslim and between the ages of 25 and 75.
Reaching the ballot: All hopefuls for high elected office must be cleared by the Guardian Council, a 12-member body of clerics and scholars loyal to the ruling theocracy. The council often rejects potential candidates considered too liberal or critical of the Islamic system. For Friday's election, four of more than 470 possible candidates were allowed.
Who wins: A simple majority — 50 percent plus one vote — is needed to win the presidency. If no candidate attains that Friday, a second round is held between the two top vote-getters June 19.
Who votes: Anyone at least 18.
President's role: The president has control of some domestic policies and serves as the international face of the country. But the nonelected theocracy, headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, controls all major decisions.
