Message Barack Obama
Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

--Applause--

OBAMA: I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton...

--Applause--

... and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

--Applause--

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years...

--Applause--

... the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady...

--Applause--

... Michelle Obama.

--Applause--

Sasha and Malia...

--Applause--

... I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us...
