The end of the united religious right

Iranian blogger, Hoder reports:

Larijani has been officially announced as the preferred candidate of conservatives. However, it doesn't mean that other conservative candidates such as Qalibaf, Rezai, Ahmadi Nejad, Velayati, and Tavakkoli, will withdraw their bids for the race. Most of them are already spending millions on their campaigs.

I've never seen Khamanei , the Leader, be so publically humiliated by people from his own political leaning. This is the practical end of Velayat-e Faghih, I believe.

Former President Rafsanjani has been hoping for the endorsement of the Supreme Leader Khamenei before joining the race. The lines are being drawn.
