Preval has to turn history upside down in Haiti. For decades, if not centuries, Haitian politics have been ruled by a take-no-prisoners' mentality. The determination of the Haitian people to use the ballot to change their history became evident after the record turnout Tuesday. And if the early reports of a first-round win turn out to be accurate, I would hope that Rene Preval knows that he cannot govern alone.
