I was being sarcastic in asking if King's program was popular in Haiti. I realize that many Haitians don't even have homes or electricity, let alone cable tv.
But a serious question then... are Haitians living abroad able to vote? I know it varies from country to country - the US allows it, here in Canada, you have to live here to vote here (yes, Canadian citizens living abroad are not allowed to vote in Canadian elections - with the exception of soldiers and diplomats). I guess the reason for posting this article was that if someone were to announce they were running for office in Canada on an American program, I would be livid. It would pretty much guarantee that they wouldn't get my vote - I'd take it as an insult. So the idea of announcing your run for office in one country on a show in another country just seems disrespectful.
