Parents are contributing as much as they can. They just don't have the means to foot the whole bill.

What I always knew about my parents was that they were in love, and this love had a fizz. It was exciting to be their child, to be around them. There was a dynamism between them, a charge.

There is a tiny chance that we will have a second round, but I fear Preval has made a clean sweep of the votes.

As we did in the 1988 coup against us, we say good luck to the country.

Our position is very clear, whoever gets 50 percent plus one wins, and if they don't get it, we go to a second round.

I'm not saying that Preval himself is involved, but there are elements around him, and in this country, that resort to violence in situations like these. I want to think we can have a peaceful contest, but I fear the worst.
