Haiti candidacy 'a wild card' says Jean

Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean said today he was confident that Haiti election officials would accept his candidacy to run for president despite doubts over whether he meets the residency requirement.

The former Fugees frontman spoke while in hiding, following death threats, in a white stucco building on a rutted, dirt road where chickens scurry and Haitian women carry sacks of laundry atop their heads.
