15. Would you agree that Hondurans didn't want Xiomara as president either?

Family and friends of mine voted all over the place. Some for Hernandez, some for Villeda, Some for Nasrala. None, and I mean NONE of them wanted Xiomara Castro as president.

They thought that it would be a shame that a woman who never graduated high school, can hardly express herself, is virtually illiterate and basically just a puppet for her husband would get the honor of being Honduras first female president.

Also, the strange fact that she disappeared for days after the night of the election fueled rumors that Mel beat her up (again).
