Help me make sense of this Politico article. (I know, I know: it's Politico).
Okay, so first up they say "The notion of an “Obama effect” sweeping the Middle East appeared to collide with the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday, as the country’s confrontational, anti-American president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, celebrated a landslide victory in Friday’s election..........."

(so, okay, there was no 'Obama effect', Iranians overwhelmingly voted for Ahmadinejad)

......"amid wide doubts about the honesty of the official vote count."

(so, Politico casts doubts on the legitimacy of the result, so there might actually have been an 'Obama effect' if the votes were counted honestly?).

What are you telling me, Politico? An 'Obama effect' or no 'Obama effect'? :shrug:
