'Clef's own cousin and former fellow Fugee Pras has already endorsed another candidate. He's voting for Michel Martelly, another sometime Haitian musician, because Martelly "is the most competent candidate for the job." But it's not like Pras would know what kind of job Jean would do running a complex, multi-million dollar enterprise, right? [Vote No On Wyclef Jean]
