Bloomberg volunteer event this past Sunday in Stamford.
Brett Broesder saw opportunity in the Democratic presidential field in the wake of Tuesday’s New Hampshire Democratic primary, in which several once-prominent candidates tanked, the three leading candidates were all clustered within six points of each other, no one captured more than 26 percent of the vote, and several campaigns died.

Deval Patrick with Bill and Julie Hague.
Manchester, N.H.— Deval Patrick was in the midst of an answer about job creation when a middle-aged woman clutching a blue leather bible walked in the door of the bookstore where he was making a last appeal to voters.
“My name is Licarda,” the woman with the bible began, interrupting another questioner in line. “I have mental illness issue, and the system is broken in our nation.”

… then dives into some poutine.
Manchester, N.H.— Amy Klobuchar is having a moment, just in time for the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. A diner discussion with 6‑year-old Joanna Vachon and an SRO college rally showed how she is making connections with voters still looking for a candidate to support on Tuesday.

Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders: Different views on “pro-life Democrats.”
Concord, N.H.—Is there room for “pro-life Democrats” in the Democratic Party of 2020?
Depends on whom you ask. The ascendant Midwestern moderate in the race for the party’s presidential nomination sees plenty of room for “future former Republicans.” The leading progressive candidate is not so sure.

Supreme Suggestions (clockwise from top left): Yang: 18-year terms; Klobuchar: Cameras; Sanders: Rotate judges; Buttigieg: 15 on bench.
Attendees at Saturday’s forum.
Concord, N.H.—The Supreme Court is broken — politicized, co-opted by right-wing extremists, weighed down by lifetime appointees.
Democratic presidential candidate after candidate at a primary campaign forum here today agreed on that diagnosis. They differed on what the next president should do about it.
Kathy Hoyt talks to home buyers and homeowners in New Haven County every day, and after hearing over and over that people can’t afford to live in Connecticut, she aims to change that — by trying to unseat State Rep. Josh Elliott.

Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants: New Haven’s Marty Dunleavy (right) with Hamden’s Walter Morton on the Biden trail.
Peterborough, N.H. — Marty Dunleavy wore a thick, baggy pair of dark-green plaid wool pants as he stood outside of Mary Maughan’s door. They were not stylish. But they did the job: They protected their wearer from an icy wind, as they have done in every presidential campaign since 2000.

Traffic whips down Quinnipiac at Runo Terrace, near school entrance.
Traffic calming on dangerously fast Quinnipiac Avenue came in first by a length. Storm-drain art placed second. Boat-launch improvements and butterfly gardens tied for third.
Those were the preliminary results a friendly horse race of pet projects, to be decided through ranked-choice voting, for how to spend $20,000 in public money to improve Fair Haven Heights.
Elliott was back knocking on New Hampshire doors Sunday — but this time for Elizabeth Warren, Sanders’ chief progressive opponent in the upcoming first-in-the-nation Democratic presidential primary.
