Well, any truly moderate candidate by western standards is disqualified (and perhaps imprisoned at some later point). Any change that happens is going to happen incrementally; if Rafsanjani becomes the next supreme leader, that will definitely pave the way for even more left-wing politicians in future elections.
Still, the ideological differences between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi are probably as great as or greater than the differences between McCain and Obama.
