Argentines to Vote Sunday in National Elections (3/3)

University student Julieta Solis, she says, " that she is a woman does not bother me. But I am not going to vote for her because she seems very arrogant and I do not like her or the president."

Despite billboards and campaign posters, the election campaign has been very low-key. Argentine political consultant Sergio Berensztein notes there have been no public debates among the presidential contenders, and most campaign appearances by the candidates go virtually unnoticed by the broader public.

He says "This campaign and these candidates have not generated any enthusiasm. Only one in four Argentines is paying attention to the campaign. Important issues are not being debated, in part because the Kirchners have refused to do so."

The president and first lady refuse to talk to reporters, to field questions and give answers.

To avoid a runoff election, Cristina Fernandez would have to win 45 percent of the vote - or receive 40 percent with a 10-point lead over the second-place finisher. Most political analysts believe the first lady can win outright, but note that pre-election polls are often unreliable in Argentina.

大学生朱丽叶·索利说："她是一名女性，并不困扰我。但是我不会给她投票因为她看来很傲慢，我不喜欢她，也不喜欢总统。"

尽管布告栏和竞选海报遍布街头，选举活动仍然很疲软。阿根廷的政治顾问Sergio Berensztein注意到在总统候选人中没有公开辩论，由候选人们发起的大多数活动事实上没有引起广大民众的注意。

他称："竞选活动和候选人都没有引起公众的任何热情。只有1/4的阿根廷人在关注选举。重要的问题不是讨论，部分是因为基尔希纳拒绝这么做。"

总统和第一夫人对于记者的提问拒绝问答。

为了避免进行决定性竞选，克里斯蒂娜·费尔南德斯必须获得45%以上的选票，或者得票率超过40%并高出第二位候选人10个百分点以上。大多数的政治分析家相信第一夫人可以完胜，但是在阿根廷竞选前的名意调查往往是不可靠的。
