Something stinks about that whole election and the Iranian youth smell it also. I suspect that he is going to have to spend a lot of time trying to keep any election skeletons in the closet. He is definatley someone to watch but with over half of the population under 25 and many of them deeply disafected he is not going to have free reign to run amok. It is likely that there will be some sort of crackdown but that will consume a lot of time and resources and ultimately they (the crackdowns) will be less and less effectives as the Iranian youth gets more and more accustomed to what freedoms they do have. If anything, it is going to take him a while to consolidate power and crush any resistance.
