A couple of notes on the post-election scene in Iran:
MRZine posted results from a poll conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow: Center for Public Opinion a few days ago (prior to the elections in Iran) indicating that Ahmadinejad was the front-runner; some in the left blogosphere have cited this poll as evidence that it is not crazy to suppose that he won by the margins the official reports say he did.
Then here is an interesting post from Juan Cole of the Global Americana Institute (from June 14th):
Class v. Culture Wars in Iranian Elections
Rejecting Charges of a North Tehran Fallacy
Read the full post.
Finally, we covered some of the background relevant to the Iranian elections in an article, "Populism and Neoliberalism in Iran," by Rostam Pourzal, in our Nov/Dec 2008 issue. (The article is not available online, but you can order back issues here.)
