Students Take to the Campaign Trail in Final 72 Hours

Working in Nashua, the group visited with undecided voters and worked downtown with local supporters. In addition to Gore, the campaigners worked for Governor Jeanne Shaheen and Congressional candidates.

"The people were really warm to us," Kastner said. "Some people were really responsive; they invited us in for soda and stuff."

After returning to campus, the students joined Kennedy for a rally in Fresh Pond, where he emphasized Cambridge's importance as a Democratic stronghold.

Trying to continue the momentum in the campaign's final hours, Democrats are preparing for today's rally with U.S. Senator John F. Kerry at Tufts University--the largest rally of its kind this year, according to the Democrats.

Tomorrow, for Election Day itself, students will be returning to New Hampshire to campaign at polling places, in addition to campaigning here.

The Harvard Republican Club was just as busy, stumping in Maine and New Hampshire for George W. Bush.

"New Hampshire and Maine are as battleground as they come," said Republican Club President Jason A. Brinton '02. "Both states are within the margin-of-error."
