"The more I learn about Bradley, the more I become attuned to the things Clinton/Gore has failed to accomplish," McLoughlin said.

"'To be honest, I really don't k now anything about dairy farming.'" McLoughlin recounts Bradley saying. Bradley later assured to meet with the farmer to discuss his concerns.

"It was totally refreshing," McLoughlin says.

Benvenutti worked this summer for Common Cause, the grassroots citizens advocacy group, and is now organizing for them on campus.

For Benvenutti, Bradley was initially attractive because of his desire to reform campaign finance laws, and his pragmatic side won her over.

"He's not just doing what would please the typical Democratic constituency. [He asks], 'How can we come up with solutions that make sense?'" she said.
