From Honduras come the presidential election results giving 58% of the vote to Partido Nacional candidate Pepe Lobo who beat Partido Liberal candidate Elvin Santos. Both candidates supported the removal of former president Manuel Zelaya whose fanciful delusions of grandeur I have documented extensively on this blog.Good for Honduras. Regardless of what Lobo's presidency turns out to be, Honduras did what was right under its constitutional law and stood tall amongst all of the international meddling which denounced its actions in removing Zelaya from office for violating articles Articles 373 and 374 of the Honduran Constitution.
Honduras' actions, in remaining true to its vision of democracy, has cost it dearly in funds and political capital, but the small country did the right thing. It has shown that it has very responsible ruling authorities which stand for the good of the Honduran people as opposed to the special interests of a select few.

Here is the WSJ article on the election by Mary Anastasia O'Grady who has been cogently covering this story since it began.
