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.
