No offence though but most of you guys got it wrong due to lack of imagination. You need to look at the regime, the way revolutionaries are dreaming it. Here let me draw the picture that they have in mind:
During Bush era, they needed someone though and full of rhetorics like Bush, someone with capable enough to show the world that Islamic revolution would destroy everything possibly that they can, if they hassled by any country which they would. They don't care about how many people in world would die in the middle of their fight for power, and that was the message they wanted world to hear. Why is that?! Because they want their regime and revolution to survive so they do everything to keep it going.
Now with Obama's administration strategy towards Iran, Islamic regime doesn't need a mouthpiece anymore; they want someone a bit moderate with strong revolutionary ties to bring Iran closer to US. Keep in mind that person should have strong revolutionary ties and should have strong commitment to Khomeini (Islamic Iran's revolution leader)'s beliefs because other revolutionaries will look up to him if he asks them <<to put off the fight with US due to strategy change>>
Although Khamenie has the last word in Iran but he wouldn't risk going to this path all by himself or with Ahmadinejad with strong opposition inside and outside of regime against him, there has to be someone else to take the blame and that person should have aforementioned features.

Anyone but Ahmadinejad

The youngsters in Milad Hall seemed to know exactly what they wanted. "Anyone but Ahmadinejad!" whooped Somayeh Khodabandeh, a 19-year-old university student wearing a black chador that covered all but her giggly face. She was at the rally with her friends Elnaz and Fatima, also in chadors. They elbowed their way to the front of the hall and raised a poster showing Mou-savi in the foreground and Khatami hovering angel-like behind him. "Peace upon Khatami! Long live Mousavi!" the crowd chanted, and the girls joined in. On stage, Mousavi and Khatami raised the hands of another 19-year-old first-time voter. The kids went wild. Khatami looked utterly comfortable in his new role as kingmaker. As for Mousavi, that wan smile kept haunting his face. It was almost as enigmatic as his platform—or, for that matter, his prospects.
