奧巴馬羅姆尼大選前最後衝刺
U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have made their final arguments to voters in key political battleground states on the eve of the 2012 presidential campaign.
Mr. Obama made campaign stops Monday in Wisconsin and Ohio, before holding a final rally in Iowa, the state that gave him his first primary victory in his 2008 White House campaign. The Democratic incumbent boasted of his accomplishments during his presidency, including the bailout of the U.S. auto industry and the killing of Osama bin Laden, but said he needed another term to complete his agenda.
Mr. Romney started his day in Florida, Virginia and Ohio, before ending with a rousing late night rally at an arena in New Hampshire, where he launched his campaign more than a year ago. The former Massachusetts governor said his record as both a businessman and politician shows he, and not Mr. Obama, would bring about real change for the nation.
Mr. Romney will vote in his hometown of Boston Tuesday, and has scheduled two last-minute Election Day events in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The president and his wife, Michelle, will spend Tuesday in their home in Chicago.在美國總統大選前夜，美國總統奧巴馬和他的共和黨競選對手羅姆尼在具有重要政治意義的關鍵州做最後的競選努力。
奧巴馬星期一在威斯康辛州和俄亥俄州進行競選活動，隨後再到艾奧華州舉行最後一次集會。奧巴馬2008年競選總統時，在艾奧華州贏得了首場初選勝利。奧巴馬談到自己執政期間所取得的成果，包括救助美國的汽車工業以及擊斃本拉登，但他表示，還需要一屆總統任期來完成預定的工作。
羅姆尼在佛羅里達、維吉尼亞和俄亥俄三州開始星期一的競選活動，隨後在新罕布什爾州舉行了一次熱鬧的夜間集會。一年多前，羅姆尼在新罕布什爾州開始競選。這位前馬薩諸塞州州長說，不論是作爲企業家，還是作爲政界人士，他的記錄都顯示能夠爲國家帶來真正改變的是他，而不是奧巴馬。
星期二，羅姆尼將在他的家鄉波士頓投票，而且將在俄亥俄州和賓夕法尼亞州參加兩場最後一刻的選舉日活動。奧巴馬將和夫人米歇爾星期二將在家鄉芝加哥度過。
