Reveling in the Spotlight
But most Harvard students from Florida say they relished the attention they are receiving from their now notorious home state.
"I'm not really embarrassed about it at all," says Kristen A. Doddo '03, a Miami-Dade county resident.
"It's kind of neat to turn on the TV and recognize the street they're broadcasting from," Palm Beach County resident M. Kate Richey '03 says.
These students defended their state, saying that any state with the fortune to be the epicenter of such a close election would show signs of voting irregularities when examined by the media microscope.
"You have to be ashamed a little bit that there are this many irregularities," Tousey says. "But no matter what state was held under the spotlight, there would've been some problems. It just so happens it was Florida."
"I'm sure there's plenty of corruption in other states that just didn't come up because the election wasn't close there," says Broward county resident Brad J. Hershbein '03.
