，我祝賀他和保羅瑞安在這場艱苦的選戰(zhàn)中的出色表現。也許我們有過激烈的較量，但那只因為我們都深深地愛著這個國家，我們都如此強烈地關注著它的未來。從喬治到埃莉諾（羅姆尼的父母，曾分別任州長與參議員——譯者注）到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼家族選擇了投身公共服務來回報美國，這是今晚值得我們尊敬和贊美的一份遺產。在今后的日子里，我也期待與羅姆尼州長坐下來，討論在哪些方面我們能夠共同合作，把這個國家推向前進。I

，民，主，政，治可能顯得喧囂、混亂、復雜。我們有自己的觀點，我們每個人都有自己深摯的信仰。每當我們面對艱難時世，每當我們國家要作出重大的決定，它都必然會激起熱情，引發(fā)爭論。這些將不會在今晚之后改變，也不應被改變。我們擁有的這些爭論是我們自由的一個標志。我們決不能忘記，就在我們說話的此刻，那些遙，遠，國度，的人們，正冒，著，生，命的危險，僅僅為爭得一個討論重要問題的機會，一個像我們今天一樣投，票，的機會。But
