I don't know how many NH voters were there, but I'd say mostly Vermont and some from all over.

Plenty of press from NH and much more from Mass. It was 86, sunny, humid, with a breeze off the lake, a perfect day for it, though I like speeches during thunderstorms too.

There was mention of FDR in his speech, both explicitly and implicitly in our nation's needs, regarding the disparity in wealth, the unemployed, work programs, rebuilding the infrastructure, banks that are too big to fail, Wall Street, the 1%, our oligarchy.

It's worse (than in FDR's time) now economically regarding the disparity in wealth, and green house warming adds another factor to the present situation. Bill McKibben spoke to that as did Bernie.
