"Sweet Mickey" Wins - Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly is declared the winner of Haiti's presidential election, preliminary results show. Final results are due April 16.Haitians went to the polls last month to vote for a new president. They chose between Mirlande Manigat, a former first lady and senator, and Martelly, a popular singer who has never held public office. The two candidates had similar agendas, promising to provide universal education in a country where only half the children attend school and to build houses in a country that has seen little reconstruction. Final results are due April 16. In this image, a Martelly supporter shows off his hair shaped in the number 8, referring to Martelly's number on voting ballots. (Photo: AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)
