I write you as I walk out of the door to vote in the 1388 elections in Los Angeles. A lot of the young Iranians I know have been excited to participate this year and have been active in viewing the presidential debates as well as reading about the candidates and their policies. It's unfortunate that there seems to be anti Islamic Republic demonstrators at the polling places in Los Angeles. Of all days and places, they choose to protest at polling places. Very counter productive if you ask me.
After a few phone calls with family in Tehran, it seems Iran is the right climate for massive participation. The current economic downturn, inflation, and sentiments of those who have felt imposed on by harsh morality enforcement, all have combined factors in this years increased participation in the presidential elections.
I'll refrain from posting speculative reports of which of the candidates is ahead in the polls. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow.

May Allah always bless this Islamic Republic. :)
Hope they protest until the mullahs and ayatollAGHS fall off their totalitarian thrones. No sleep til this fascist theocracy hijacking our nation for 30 years is destroyed.
This is just the beginning. Marg bar Jomhoori Eslami !
Mehdi, you would love Iran to be back in the hands of Reza Shah building palaces for his khalehs and neglecting whole provinces of any services. stay out of this and stay in Los Angeles going to parties and doing cocaine.
Ma ahle Koufeh nistim, Mahmoud tanha bemanad! :D
