<演說全文> 美國的變革時代已到來
PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA:
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
Its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
Its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didnt start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.
I know you didnt do this just to win an election and I know you didnt do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who wont agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government cant solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way its been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, its that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, We are not enemies, but friendsâ
麥凱恩發表演講祝賀奧巴馬 贏得總統大選 綜合新聞
在美國總統大選投票結束後，麥凱恩發表演講，祝賀奧巴馬贏得美國大選。
據美國有線電視新聞網/CNN報道，美國總統選舉結果揭曉，奧巴馬已經贏得297張選舉人票，而當選美國總統所需的選舉人票為270票，因此奧巴馬取得本屆美國總統大選的勝利。他將成為美國首位黑人總統。
麥凱恩向鳳凰城巴爾的摩酒店草坪前的支持者發表講演時稱︰“我的朋友，我們漫長的旅程結束了，美國人民已表達了看法，他們明確地表達了看法。我在不久之前很榮幸地打電話給奧巴馬參議員，祝賀他當選這個國家的新總統，我和他都愛這個國家。在這個漫長和艱難的競選活動中，他的成功足以贏得我對他能力和堅持的尊敬。”麥凱恩稱，奧巴馬成為美國首位黑人總統具有歷史意義，將幫助美國修復其種族主義傷口。
麥凱恩是在兩年前開始總統競選活動的，這位前海軍飛行員、戰俘在共和黨黨內初選階段在非常不利的情況下逆轉了選情，贏得了共和黨總統提名。麥凱恩的支持率在9月份與奧巴馬不相上下，但是他的競選活動未能從全球金融危機的打擊中恢復過來，全球金融危機使華爾街損失了數千億美元。他在選舉的最後階段發動了猛烈的攻勢，在各州奔走以獲得選民們的支持，其中包括在選舉日當天前往科羅拉多州和新墨西哥州拉票。
盡管麥凱恩陣營在公開場合稱有信心獲得勝利，但陣營內部的情緒是越來越冷靜。麥凱恩4日在競選飛機上對記者稱，他的白宮之路是“一個非常好的旅行。”他說︰“我們有一個非常好的旅行，一個偉大的經歷，我們將永遠珍藏這些記憶。我們在一起度過了很長時間。我希望你們取得成功，盼望著將來和你們在一起。”
麥凱恩的競選活動在一年前看起來將要結束，他當時只剩下了很少的資金，只能乘商業航班前往各地競選，自己去拿行李。與此同時，麥凱恩的競選經理施密特稱，麥凱恩決定全力以赴地完成競選。不過，他和其他官員都承認，一位非常不受歡迎的共和黨總統、糟糕的經濟、奧巴馬巨星一樣的吸引力使他們的選戰幾乎無法打贏。
英报：无论胜负 佩林都将是本届选举大赢家 中新网
中新网11月5日电 据英国《卫报》报道，无论胜负如何，共和党副总统候选人佩林都是今届大赢家，她再不是一名寂寂无闻的小州长。美国政治舞台上，从没人像佩林如此急促“冒起”。据香港《明报》援引该报的报道，尽管丑闻指控缠身，政见也被指太保守，但美国一些女性主义仍认为，她和民主党希拉里今届的奋起，至少为女性未来问鼎白宫，奠下更强基石。
有望2012年问鼎白宫
佩林在大选前夕得到好消息，阿拉斯加州人事局经调查后指佩林在“州警门”一案中并无滥权，结论跟早前民主党州议会的相反。佩林自出任麦凯恩副手后便丑闻缠身，但这并未令其保守派支持者热情减退。不少分析认为，佩林在共和党政治前途一片光明，并将获得草根福音派基督徒支持，时间会令大众逐渐淡忘各项针对她的指控，而佩林亦将磨练出政治技巧。有保守派人士更认为，她有望在2012年时问鼎白宫。跟过往女政客最大分别是，佩林拉票期间经常抱着幼子，打破外界对在职妈妈的偏见。学者埃伦赖希说，“自佩林后，再没人敢说女性应该留在家中带孩子。”
不少女权人士认为，佩林跟民主党初选参选人希拉里，令新一代女性从政之路更平坦。学者斯泰纳姆说:“希拉里参选令民众不再认为女元首是不可能想象的。”而佩林在受到连串丑闻打击下仍不改自信。两人也让美国人开始习惯女性在总统辩论中出现。事实上，共和党向以男性为中心，佩林参选对共和党亦别具意义。
