I've Been Thinking:

The US is in the final stages of deciding whether to open an interest section in Iran.
An interest section is a diplomatic office that deals with the interests of Americans in Iran and with Iranian interest in the United States.

It is an official diplomatic posting and even though it is below the level of ambassador, an interest section is still a diplomatic presence.
The only thing remaining before this office can be opened is a decision by President George Bush.

All of this leaves the presidential candidates in a strange limbo-like situation.
The United States may be changing policy on Iran.
If that happens it will, to put it mildly, have a significant impact on the foreign policy platforms of both candidates.
