After a year-long campaign costing $2.5-6 billion (estimates vary widely), President Barack Obama has won a second four-year term, with 49 states reporting their results on election night (Florida, for the second time in four presidential elections, did not). Obama now has a chance to define the United States’ role in the international system for years to come.
丹佛—结束了。在经历了耗时一年、耗费25—60亿美元的大选之后（诸项估计差别很大），49各州在选举当夜报告了投票结果（佛罗里达不在其中，这是四次总统选举以来的第二次）总统奥巴马赢得了第二个4年任期。现在，奥巴马有机会定义未来几年中美国在国际体系中的角色了。
