"You just have no idea how warming and how generous that welcome is, your love is, your affection. And I`m gratified by it. I`m sorry that we got here a little bit late and little bit short. I spoke to President Bush and I offered him and Laura our congratulations on their victory. we had a good conversation, and we talked about the danger of division in our country and the need -- the desperate need for unity, for finding the common ground, coming together. Today I hope that we can begin the healing. In America, it is vital that every vote count, and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process. I would not give it up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail. But is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won`t be enough outstanding votes for us to be able to win Ohio. And therefore we cannot win this election. It was a privilege and a gift to spend two years traveling this country, coming to know so many of you. I wish that I could just wrap you up in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually all across this nation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always be particularly grateful to the colleague that you just heard from who became my partner, my very close friend, an extraordinary leader, John Edwards. But in an American election, there are no losers, because whether or not our candidates are successful, the next morning we all wake up as Americans. That is the greatest privilege and the most remarkable good fortune that can come to us on Earth. With that gift also comes obligation. We are required now to work together for the good of our country. In the days ahead, we must find common cause. We must join in common effort, without remorse or recrimination, without anger or rancor. America is in need of unity and longing for a larger measure of compassion. I hope President Bush will advance those values in the coming years. I pledge to do my part to try to bridge the partisan divide. I know this is a difficult time for my supporters, but I ask them, all of you, to join me in doing that. Now more than ever, with our soldiers in harm`s way, we must stand together and succeed in Iraq and win the war on terror. So with a grateful heart, I leave this campaign with a prayer that has even greater meaning to me now that I`ve come to know our vast country so much better thanks to all." 以上节选自凯瑞败选感言 我一个字一个字po的喔~~ 看到这篇文章我感触很深 想想我们台湾这次的选举...... 实在是...... 不知道该说什麽! 如果...... 现在有人问我 台湾是不是个民主国家...... 我该怎麽回答呢? 连对岸的同胞都看不起我们了 反而觉得 他们的政治制度值得我们效法...... 套一句史+0的话： 台湾的选民真可怜 别人选举 至少能选比较好的候选人 而我们 没有选择 只能从两个很烂的中间选一个! 又想到今天军训课老孙教官说的话 台湾快要丧失所有的军力优势了 陈总统还差点被"斩首"．．． 真是令我忧心不已阿！ --
