【我的总结与翻译】

Obama brushes aside the notion that his rhetoric is insubstantial. He says he would inspire people to come together to solve problems.

Obama完全不理会那些说他言辞浮华的言论，并表示，他将激励人们一同来解决问题。

"The most important thing that we can do right now is to re-engage the American people in the process of governance, to get them excited and interested again in what works and what can work in our government."

“目前我们能做的最重要的事，就是重新让美国人民参与到管理过程中来，让他们再次对我们政府所做的工作以及所能做的工作感到兴奋和有兴趣。”

On the Republican side, the (Arizona) Senator John McCain has a clear lead nationwide and no one expects his chief rival, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, to win the nomination, no matter how well he does in Wisconsin. But Huckabee has refused to quit, arguing that voters have a right to make a choice based on their beliefs and principles, not on what party leaders say.

共和党方面，亚利桑那州议员John McCain很明显在全国都处于领先地位，没有认为他的主要竞争对手，即阿肯色州州长Mike Huckabee，能够赢得党内的提名，即使他在威斯康星州表现很成功。但Huckabee拒绝退出竞选，并指出选民有权依据他们自己的信念和原则作出选择，而非是党派领导人的一面之辞。

Huckabee says he represents conservatives who care about such issues as abortion, illegal immigration and reduced taxes.

Huckabee表示他代表了一些保守派人士，他们都关注流产、非法移民以及减税等方面的问题。

McCain has broad appeal, which could prove important in November's general election in a state such as Wisconsin, which has been a battleground in past elections. But many conservatives in his party object to more liberal positions he has taken on such issues as taxes and immigration.

McCain获得了广泛的支持率，这会对11月份在威斯康星之类的州举行的大选中产生很重要的影响，而威斯康星州在过去一直是个选举战场。但共和党内的许多保守派人士则反对他在税收及移民问题上过于自由的主张。
