I just assumed that the mullahs were going to throw the election to Jalili and that reform minded Iranians would stay home.
Rohani is only an improvement, not a transformative figure. But his election does suggest that the regime backed off naked voter fraud.
This could be a big deal, if it signals a willingness of the regime (read Ayatollah Khamenei) to negotiate with the West.
