William R. Levine '04, a Bush supporter, said he came to the IOP because "it was more exciting when people are rooting for different sides."
"I didn't want to seclude myself with people who agree with me," he said.
Richard L. Rivero '04, a Gore supporter, said he thought the IOP event would be a fun evening--and a learning experience.
"I wanted to learn more about the electoral process and hear all the different opinions," he said. "It's an opportunity that I should take advantage of while I am here at Harvard."
Jennifer G. Flood, a student at the Graduate School of Education, said she came the Forum to find people who shared her interest in politics. She also said she wanted to hear a diversity of opinions.
The crowd was also treated to a call from Sen. John S. McCain (R-Ariz.), who addressed the crowd over the ARCO Forum's speakers.
McCain shared his thoughts on the election and fielded student questions.
