We will see how much solidarity there is throughout the country. I'm not saying Ahmadinejad couldn't have won.

That would have placated the young population while keeping the power structure in place. Now, though, the focus of the protesters has expanded to replacing Khamenei as supreme leader with Ayatollah Montazeri, who is allegedly more pro-Democracy, and reforming the constitution.
