Follow Us For A Look Inside The Bernie Sanders Connecticut Team

-snip-
KEENE, N.H., 2:00 P.M.

Leo Canty drives his Dodge Ram while 22-year-old Michael Tozeski gets out every so often to go talk to potential voters.

Canty, a former union leader with the American Federation of Teachers and past chairman of the Windsor Democratic Town Committee, was out of politics for a few years before Bernie Sanders' candidacy drew him back in.

He organizes the "Road Berner" carpools. Today's trip had 21 participants, including Tozeski, who is canvassing for the first time.

Tozeski finds a Bernie supporter who says he'll be voting for Sanders in the Feb. 9 primary. Canty honks when Tozeski gets back in the car and delivers the good news.

With a storm brewing back in Connecticut, the canvassers finished up their assigned areas and returned their data to the Bernie Sanders office.

Bernie Sanders rally in downtown Portland draws big crowd

https://twitter.com/andrewtheen

A crowd of about 1,000 people turned out in Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland Saturday to support Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.

Sanders was more than 1,700 miles away in Iowa, where he was scheduled to speak Saturday evening. But his absence didn't dampen the spirits of his supporters, who gathered under sporadic showers and cloudy skies for the rally, one of dozens taking place across the country to coincide with the Vermont senator's Iowa speech.

The event drew a diverse crowd with a creative bent. Middle-aged canvassers wandered about trying to secure the signatures of young voters for ballot initiatives. Fathers walked around with children strapped to their chests in Baby Bjorns.

More than a dozen speakers addressed the crowd – some focused on Sanders' policy stances to fight income inequality, environmental crises or social issues. A couple speakers had connections with the Vermonter that dated back decades.
