Making waves: Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, wave during a rally in Tehran on May 30. Many Iranians seem to favor Mousavi not because of who he is, but who he isn't -- Ahmadinejad. "Mousavi is so popular because many people dislike Ahmadinejad's policies," Iranian political analyst Majid Hoseini told the Washington Post. "He doesn't have any charisma. It's the worries in the society that will get him votes." One girl shouted from a car in Tehran on June 6, "I don't really know who he is. But he is the only one that can beat Ahmadinejad."
