“The other candidates who have come to Kirkland have really taken advantage of the opportunity to talk directly to students,” he said.
Many interested students will still have the chance to see Dean’s appearance on “Hardball’ at the JFK Jr. Forum.
Dean has drawn the largest numbers so far in the Institute of Politics (IOP) lottery for tickets to taping, with 1,819 people sending in requests, according to IOP spokesperson Andy Solomon.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was the next most popular Hardball candidate, drawing 1,595 lottery entrants.
Members of the College Democrats said they hope that Dean will return to speak with students in a more intimate setting akin to the Kirkland event.
But Graff said that the Dean campaign does not yet know whether Dean will make a future campaign appearance at Harvard.
