Bradley supporters were often vocal, applauding him and snickering at Gore's constant references to his wife Tipper.
But Bradley probably elicited the debate's loudest laugh when he solemnly suggested that "the idiosyncratic characteristics of our grandparents" may have been due to Alzheimer's disease.
Eugene Krupitsky '02, a Harvard Students for Al Gore organizer, declined to say who he thought won the debate, citing the town meeting format as one not conducive to producing winners and losers, though he offered that Gore did well.
Brian M. Kim, a KSG student who said he had previously been leaning toward Bradley, said he thought Gore was the more impressive candidate.
"[Gore] came off looking smooth and polished," he said. "Bradley, in comparison, nearly put me to sleep."
But Gabriel E. Tames '01, another undecided student, said he liked Bradley's "big ideas" and optimistic outlook.
And although Gore is widely considered to be a skilled debater, Taylor E. Terry '03, a sticker-wearing Bradley supporter, said he thought Bradley was not outmatched.
