It's a very rare moment in Iran. Once again, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad changes the equation even though he, personally, isn't part of it. Both the "reformists" and the "principalists" have a single objective in this election: defeating Ahmadinejad's candidate, Esfendyar Rahim Mashaei, or whoever makes it to the final list of candidates.
It is no longer a fight about reforms or principles; today the main objective is putting an end to Ahmadinejad's popular current, which threatens their political presence.
