		Manuel Zelaya has been unable to take advantage of the controversy engulfing the opposition, only somewhat succeeding in differentiating himself from Lobo as his ranting proclamations have failed to seriously impugn his tough-shelled opponent.

		Zelaya’s inability to distinguish himself as a credible candidate, and his apparent lack of political stature, may balance out Lobo’s well entrenched flaws and leave the race up for grabs.
