"I had heard a lot about Harvard being very liberal," he said.
"It seems like it's a hard-core Democratic campus, but it's not really hard-core liberal," he said. "People are not willing to make sacrifices and cross party lines."
Among the campus's most liberal activists, however, Nader does have many fans.
According to Offner, PSLM members have sold more than 40 tickets to Nader's upcoming rally at the Fleet Center. Many of these, she said, were hawked--at $10 a pop--in front of the Science Center.
PSLM also plans to set up a table at the Sunday event.
The ticket sales indicate there is some support for Nader on campus, despite the low participation in Ginn's group.
For instance, Shai M. Sachs '01, a former member of Harvard Students for Bill Bradley, said he is now on Nader's mailing list. Sachs follows the lead of Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West '74, a former Bradley advisor who now vocally supports Nader.
