Bush supporter Melissa R. Moschella '02 expressed similar thoughts.
"I supported the recount until last night, but now it's too destabilizing to the country if it continues," she said.
Some students feel it is unlikely Gore will win even if the recount is extended.
"It seems like there's little possibility unless they count the dimpled chads, which is ridiculous," Moschella said.
There are also students who do not seem to care who wins.
