    BREAKING NEWS


另据21世纪网讯根据美国有线电视台CBS公布的初步统计结果显示，民主党候选人奥巴马将赢得本次美国总统大选，成为美国有史以来首位黑人总统。

CBS所做的出口民调（exit poll）显示，奥巴马将赢得333张选举人票。根据美国选举人团制度，总统候选人争夺全国各州的538张选举人票，率先赢得半数以上（即270张）票数的候选人将锁定胜局。

出口民调显示的只是预测结果。各新闻机构雇佣调查人员，在选票站门口等候投票完毕的选民，向他们问取投票信息，这就是所谓的exit poll。

出口民调显示，奥巴马赢得了宾夕法尼亚、俄亥俄等关键州。各州的记票正在进行中，正式结果的公布时间将取决于各州记票的不同进度。

聚集在芝加哥格兰特公园参加“竞选之夜”活动的数万名奥巴马支持者已经开始庆祝胜利。他们呼喊的口号已经由“我们能做到”改变为了“我们做到了”。奥巴马在民主党初选中的竞争对手希拉里发表声明称：“我们正在庆祝美国人民的一次历史性胜利。在奥巴马总统、拜登副总统以及民主党国会的领导下，我们将建立一套更好的经济系统，也会改善美国与全球的关系。”

共和党总统候选人麦凯恩在第一时间承认竞选失利，并打电话给奥巴马，祝贺他当选美国第44任总统。麦凯恩在亚利桑纳州凤凰城对自己的支持者表示，这是一次历史性的竞选，对美国黑人来说非常重要，最终的结果会让他们感到骄傲。麦凯恩还发誓，自己将尽力帮助奥巴马，确保美国度过目前的难关。

现任美国总统、共和党人布什也致电奥巴马，对他表示祝贺。
