"I don't watch what the Harvard Democrats do," said Jeffrey A. Letalien '00, a member of the Undergraduate Council. "My guess is they're complacent."
Simpson, however, joked about the status of conservatives at Harvard as a silent minority.
"I've been hanging around here for three years," he began his speech. "Where have you all been?"
Students seemed to take the speakers' message of unity to heart.
Robert R. Porter '02 and Mattie J. Germer '03, who head up Harvard Students for Bush and for McCain, respectively, emphasized that while they believe strongly in their candidates, they would immediately support whoever wins the Republican battle.
Many students stressed that they have not yet decided who they will vote for. Letalien said he is leaning toward Bush but has not yet completely made up his mind.
JCP members Lev Polinsky '99-'00 and Moshe Y. Spinowitz '01 both said they have yet to choose between Bush and McCain.
Hannah L. Fleener '03 said she was a Bush supporter until she heard McCain speak at the IOP. Now she said she plans to vote for McCain.
