There are a couple of valid points at the moment:
1.) Ahmadinejad's supporters are largely rural voters.
2.) The voting was definitely tampered with (to the point where only an idiot would believe that wasn't the case). The degree to which the results were faked shows how 'brilliant' Ahmadinejad's supporters are.
3.) Exit polls implied that the race was tight...and that it was highly likely they would need a run-off.
They just want their voice heard...which is frustrating to the establishment.

Yes, he might not have won, but if half the country wants to have some extra freedoms, like the right to express themselves in the manner they want to and the other half the country are a bunch of hardline conservative religious people that want to have things done their way or you die or go to jail, it's understandible why they should continue fighting, even if they are in a slight minority.
I just hope that the results are as painless as possible, and the people who want a change get it.
