Inside Bernie Sanders' bid to retake New Hampshire [View all]

WEST LEBANON, N.H. — Just before 10 a.m. on a hazy Saturday, Joe Caiazzo drove up to the small house, off the main strip in West Lebanon, that will serve as Bernie Sanders’ campaign office in the Upper Valley for the next 200 days.

With warnings that the temperature would rise into the triple digits over that weekend two weeks ago, the 32-year-old New Hampshire campaign state director was dressed appropriately with a light blue polo shirt and khaki trousers.

With Sanders in Iowa for the weekend, Caiazzo planned to go down to Keene to hear Nina Turner — the Vermont senator’s senior adviser and firebrand — speak to supporters at the Unitarian Universalist Church, and then drive back north to West Lebanon for the grand opening of what would be the sixth Sanders office in the state and then, to hear Turner rally the troops once again.
