Prior to this the Hondurans came out in record numbers, when compared to prior elections, and the popular vote was in favor of Porfirio Lobo, a wealthy rancher from the opposition National Party. He overwhelmingly defeated Elvin Santos of the ruling Liberal Party, which largely turned against Zelaya and supported his ouster.

Congratulations should be given to every Honduran for standing up against the Obama administration as well as almost every Latin and Spanish speaking nation that tried to force this country to go against their established laws and constitution. We should remember this scenario and know that this administration prefers theocrats and thugs in power over established capitalist societies.
