Mitt Romney today said that the election in Iran was a "fraud" and called on Barack Obama to denounce the Iranian regime. Joe Lieberman did, too, saying: "I would hope that President Obama and members of both parties in Congress will speak out, loudly and clearly, about what is happening in Iran right now, and unambiguously express their solidarity with the brave Iranians who went to the polls in the hope of change and who are now looking to the outside world for strength and support." Joe Biden, meanwhile, said that it was too soon to know the actual results of the Iranian election, but added that there was "real doubt" about the legitimacy of balloting and said: "There's an awful lot of questions about how this election was run." That's an improvement over the Robert Gibbs and Hillary Clinton statements, but not nearly as forceful as a statement -- or even a short speech -- from Obama would be.
