Anne Coughlin came from Concord to hear Sanders speak. She’s a fan, but she has some reservations.

“It’s kind of like a head and heart kind of struggle,” she explained. “My heart agrees with everything he said, but I want a candidate who can win nationally.”

Democrats in New Hampshire say a contested Democratic primary will influence the conversation on both sides of the aisle.
