Iranian elections tomorrow - We're probably not going to know the results until Saturday but, according to the Guardian: "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faces defeat if election not rigged, say Iranian experts."  There's always a loophole.

From what I've heard on the news Ahmadinejad's main opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi, has been campaigning with his wife and is expected to capture the female vote and the youth vote in a country where a large percentage of citizens are under 30.  Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad has been bussing in supporters for his campaign rallies.

Violence is expected if the vote is close.
