I really do get the sense that he'll be his own man. I don't think he's going to make the same mistakes that were made under Aristide. He can bridge the divide between rich and poor.

I'm very surprised and disappointed by these maneuvers.

I haven't felt this much hope about Haiti in many years.

From what I heard on the radio all day, with the prospect of Preval being president, the elite is already lining up and getting ready to derail him and keep him from governing.

In all that I have done, I have always been successful. I'm a perpetual winner, and I will win these elections.

It's not a personal victory, it's a victory for the Haitian people. This victory showed that we will break the spine of the status quo that has done nothing for this country in over 200 years.
