#2 Not really. The maneuvering's been going on for months. Sadeq Larijani was considered one of the dark horses. He's a jurist (a requirement in the Iranian constitution) but has no real legal experience. He's also relatively young for a cleric in his position. However, he's got the support of the intelligence agencies and enjoys close ties with the military.

In short, he's a ruthless bastard who'd probably make Khomeini look like a liberal.
