From now on, the campaign appears set to be transformed into a classic left-right struggle, but with a major difference between the two main candidates’ strategies. Hollande wants to turn the presidential election into a referendum on Sarkozy, who, given his unpopularity, is seeking to frame the battle in terms of values and experience.
从今以后，整场竞选似乎注定要转变成为一场经典的左右之争，但两大候选人的战略却存在着一个重要区别。奥朗德试图将大选变为一场针对萨科齐的全民公决，而失去了民望的后者却想将这场缠斗限定为一场价值观与经验之争。
