According to Marc Stad '01, president of the College Democrats, the purpose of the campaign is to let students know "what's at stake if you vote for Bush."
IOP Fellow Dan E. Lungren, also a former member of Congress and California attorney general, said the award for the most unexpected performance goes to Gary Bauer for his genuine remarks, but said Bush and McCain made the biggest gains in the debate.
"I don't think Forbes helped himself," Lungren said. Hatch, he said, "didn't move anyone."
