Iranian Presidential Candidates

Iran's reformists are having trouble uniting behind a Presidential candidate. The most popular choice, Prime Minister Mir-Hussein Musavi, has decided not to run, and former President Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani has said he does not wish to enter the race, either. In his absence, some reformists are pushing the candidacy of Mustafa Mo'in, a former Khatami Cabinet member who twice tried to resign in protest of the suppression of student demonstrations. Because I believe the lack of cooperation between student and government reform movements has been a major reason for their failure, I look with favor upon a Mo'in candidacy, but wonder if he really has a chance of getting on the ballot and winning.
