Bernie's Base: Sanders' HQ Is Church Street's Newest Attraction
-snip-
But for all the work that goes on outside the office, people are still drawn to the physical den of the candidate. Every few minutes, another person spurred on by Sanders walked into the small, unobtrusive office.
Josh Schupp-Star of Burlington said he had to do some searching to find out where the campaign office was. He made his way to Church Street to pick out an array of lawn signs, bumper stickers, key chains and a shirt to take to his in-laws on the South Carolina-North Carolina border.
"They're barely political, but they're getting back into it with this election," he said, expressing worry about whether the lawn-sign posts would clear carry-on security at the airport.
A short time later, Nathaniel Perkins of Burlington arrived with a mission of his own. He was buying a Bernie T-shirt and picking up lawn signs, literature and bumper stickers to take to a NASCAR race in New Hampshire, "knowing there's going to be a bunch of Confederate flags," he said.
