For conservative students, the bad news kept coming Tuesday night – but the worst came shortly before 11:30 p.m. when Fox News called the election for Barack Obama.

A group of five students in the College Republicans joined arms together, beaten down all night as voters rejected candidates they campaigned for, like Linda McMahon, Scott Brown and George Allen.

Sam Goldstein, an international affairs major, said he was worried that another term for Obama would hurt his fight for pro-life issues.

“They were saying it was a dead heat so I was hoping and praying for it,” Goldstein said. “I’m very afraid. I feel like we’re already going in the wrong direction and now it won’t end.”

Students who tuned to Fox News all night said they worried that an Obama win would hurt their personal job prospects, their core issue in this election.

Freshman Will Rodenberg said he was disillusioned with Obama’s reelection.

“I’ll have a better chance of getting a job if Romney is elected. The progress Obama has made so far is next to nothing,” Rodenberg said.

Michael Viviano, a freshman history major, said as Romney’s chances were thinning that even though Obama’s reelection would mean more “gridlock,” he would still go to the White House to watch celebrations.

“I’ll go to the White House then drink myself to sleep,” he said.
