Haitian presidential candidates campaign in Fla.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Some Haitian presidential candidates plan to present their platforms to Haitian-Americans at a Tampa Bay college.
Haiti's presidential elections are scheduled to be held Nov. 28. There are 19 candidates seeking to become president of the Caribbean country struggling to recover from a January earthquake that killed as many as 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million homeless.
At least 11 candidates say they'll participate in a forum Saturday at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg.
Many candidates have extended their campaigning to the U.S. Haitian-Americans cannot vote in their homeland, but they can raise money for candidates and influence their friends and family in Haiti.
According to U.S. Census estimates, more than 375,000 Haitians live in Florida.
