Heat of presidential election comes to Hopkins campus
For Ullman, it is Obama's adherence to a clean campaign that has won him over.
"I used to work for the Obama field office in Nevada and was surprised that Obama's going to run this thing cleanly," Ullman said.
Garson said he became enamored with Obama after learning about the candidate's fresh approach to politics.
"Obama brings everyone to the table and is willing to compromise to get things done," Garson said.
In the meantime, the 46 members of JHU Students for McCain have been focusing their efforts primarily on off-campus activity.
"Many fellow students and I are doing volunteer work in cities other than Baltimore right now, so we've been very busy," said Evan Lazerowitz, the head of Maryland Students for McCain and the College Republicans Club, both wings of the JHU Students for McCain organization.
Christopher Connelly, the coordinator of JHU Students for McCain and vice-president of the College Republicans, has a similar schedule.
"Recently, I've been to Virginia to help John McCain's campaign," Connelly said.
Once their volunteer schedules are over, Connelly and Lazerowitz plan to set up an aggressive recruiting campaign to attract more members for JHU Students for McCain on campus. They are confident in their potential success.
"We can definitely get 230 more members for JHU Students for McCain," Lazerowitz said. "We can definitely match JHU Students for Obama."
Connelly said he was confident about the group's ability to schedule upcoming political events at Hopkins.
According to Connelly, there have been talks for a debate between the College Republicans and the College Democrats, a wing of the JHU Students for Obama.
When the election becomes more imminent, Lazerowitz hopes to bring his new members for the Republicans' "72-hour deployment" period.
"72-hour deployment takes place 72 hours before November fourth, the election day," Lazerowitz said.
"We will go to different cities in battleground states for last-minute campaigning."
