CLEAN: The candidate who would be king: Iraqi heir fights for seat

He lays claim to the throne of Iraq -- but for now, he'll settle for a seat in parliament. Ali bin Hussein is the cousin of Iraq's last king, Faisal II, and remains convinced that a revival of the country's monarchy could be a solution to many of its problems. But following earlier political setbacks, he's now throwing his lot in with the election process, and campaigning for votes as part of a broad, largely conservative coalition.
