El Caribe points out today that the 2004 Presidential election has become a contest of emotive slogans, rather than a discussion of what the candidates will do to resolve national problems. On the hit parade of slogans, ?E pa? fuera que van,? (Out they go) of the PLD leads for its catchy appeal. The other PLD slogan, ?Vuelve Leonel, vuelve el progreso,? (Leonel is back, progress will be back) trails on the popularity of the leading slogan..
The PRD?s President Hipolito Mejia is campaigning on the slogan ?Ahora pa? los tiempos buenos,? promising a future of good times. Mejia claims that his contender Leonel Fernandez, ?did not do anything? while he was in office.
