Campaign Slogans


Campaign slogans usually take the form of expressing a key campaign issue or draw attention to a particularly contentious issue which is dividing the constituents.  Campaign slogans also "polk" fun at candidates.  Play on the name of the candidate, such as a rhyme or alliteration, can also make for a catchy slogan.  Sometimes campaign slogans come into being spontaneously as a phrase from a speech sticks and becomes a slogan.
