The mullahs apparantly have decided not to give Obama an opportunity to claim “victory” of the teleprompter.
Anti-riot police guarded the offices overseeing Iran’s disputed elections Saturday with the count pointing to a landslide victory by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad while his opponent denounced the results as “treason” and threatened a challenge.
The standoff left Tehran in tense anticipation. Many people opened shops and carried out errands, but the backdrop was far from normal: black-clad police gathering around key government buildings and mobile phone text messaging blocked in an apparent attempt to stifle one of the main communication tools of the pro-reform movement of Mir Hossein Mousavi.

ACORN sends people over to lend assistance registering dead people. Obama wants “how To” tips.
don’t worry...the criminal liberal media will find a way to spin this as a victory for zero....
They hire Gores vote counters?
Time for Israel to start their engines.
Would be ironic if that were truly the case, and Zero's lame speech manipulated the Iran elections - in precisely the wrong direction.
Yeah, I'll bet....
I guess all the America and Israel haters got to the polls.
Anyone got a link to the video of Obama running back to the podium to answer the CNN reporters question? He couldn’t wait to link his Cairo speech to the election outcome when early reports had Ahmedinejad losing. Now what’s he got to say with a nearly 2/3 majority wipeout?

Wow...kind of like another group of Community Organizers The “Taliban”
It doesn’t matter who got to the polls.
He who counts the votes decides everything.
It’s like Saddam’s 98% “election results”, or Hugo Chavez “landslide victories”.
All this results tells us is that the Ayatollah thinks it’s better to confront Obama with sockpuppet 1 Ahmadinejad, than to please him with sockpuppet 2 Musavi.
“It doesn’t matter who got to the polls. He who counts the votes decides everything.”
Like the Iowa caucuses and the Minnesota election?
Not THAT bad. Lol.
Citizens of Iran vote to be involved in the start of World War III.
Somehow that doesn’t quite ring true to me.
