Notes on Mehdi Karrubi

The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has made it clear that there is to be no "Mud Slinging" in the Presidential Race. In an amazing show of contempt and disrespect Karrubi has disregarded the judgement of the Supreme Leader of Iran. As if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei orders were nothing more than the barking of a dog Karrubi makes the current race a cheap and tawdry affair.

It may well be a desperation move. Mehdi Karrubi is neither respected by the Reformist minded voters of Iran nor by his peers. Even among students which is the Reformist strong-hold Karrubi barely polls 5 percent. Scoring little better with any other demographic Karrubi is beginning to thrash about making wild moves such as the Mud Slinging.
