"The best part was kicking it with three other Bradley supporters," Shai M. Sachs '01 said of the job. "The worst was standing out there for four or five hours in the sun."
Gore's army of supporters yesterday also drew significant Harvard numbers. Students campaigning for him ranged from Government concentrators to graduate students in the Kennedy School of Government (KSG) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
"We are lucky because Harvard has a lot of interested people who strongly support Al Gore," said Erin B. Ashwell '02, Harvard's Gore campaign coordinator and the trip's organizer.
Gore campaigners spent the morning and afternoon canvassing, but the highlight of the day came in the early afternoon, when they took a break to hear Gore speak.
When Gore first arrived at the event, students, residents and political campaigners jostled for a picture, handshake or chat with the vice president.
Gore's short but rousing speech to the residents of Keene addressed his proposals for childcare, education and health care reform.
Campaigners in both the Bradley and Gore camps said the trip to New Hampshire was worth the long haul.
