presidential candidacy

i read today that Khatami former iranian president (before ahmadinejad) had decided not to run for presidency. it was a bad news on my own personal terms. i personally trust him and finds him a good man and someone who is fit for the office.
he will now be supporting the former vice president Mousavi i believe. he had already said only one of the two would run for presidency and since Mousavi is insisting on candidacy, he will resign but will help the campaign. it could however be a good. Mousavi is also moderate and reformist with less resistance from hardliners. so he might have a slightly better environment to work at.
i wanted so much for Khatami to run for election and i would have liked to work for his campaign. now, i am not sure. i feel a bit deflated, which is not a good sign.
