Honduras Votes

clipped from gatewaypundit.firstthings.com Today’s elections in Honduras was a huge victory for democracy and a huge embarrassment for the former leftist President Manuel Zelaya and the Obama White House. Despite calls from Zelaya urging supporters to boycott and protest the vote, the freedom-loving Hondurans turned out in record numbers. A turnout of more than 60% was expected but unofficial reports claim the turnout was above 70%. Barack Obama is a big supporter of the leftist Chavez-wannabe Manuel Zelaya. HotAir has more on the New York Times’ pathetic reporting on today’s elections. The conservative candidate is expected to win today’s election. The Wall Street Journal reported: Neither of the two men claiming to be president during the past five months – Mr. Zelaya and interim President Roberto Micheletti – were on the ballot. Instead, Hondurans picked between Mr. Lobo of the conservative National Party and Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party – to which both Mr. Zelaya and Mr. Micheletti belong.
