How Popular Is Ahmadi?

Hooman Majd, a few days ago:

There is little question that Mr Ahmadi-Nejad enjoys the support of perhaps as many as 15m Iranians, but the results adding another 10m votes to his hardcore base beggar belief. Shock and awe? You bet. Except it is not working, now that the awe is only at the shameless arrogance of a president.

Larison springboards off this, to discuss the vote totals released by the opposition.
