WP: A polarized Iran goes to the polls. "Though he holds many of the levers of power, Ahmadinejad is proud of his status as an outsider. He says the country's political class has drifted away from its religious and revolutionary roots. Since his surprise election in 2005, he has constantly attacked Iran's post-revolutionary elites, contending that they long ago gave up fighting for the 'barefooted' masses and began doing business deals from their villas on the slopes of affluent North Tehran."
Does he remind you a bit of Sarah Palin?
