Last week, on December 13th, Senator Bernie Sanders spent the 200th day of his Presidential Campaign meeting folks all over Iowa; speaking with seniors in Mount Carmel, convening a roundtable with veterans in Waterloo, holding at a town hall in Mount Vernon and opening an office in Davenport Iowa.
It probably reminds you a lot of this September when the campaign marked its 100th day with another long day of events in Iowa. The reality of it is that these anniversaries are “Hallmark Holidays”, sign posts that mark the passage of time and hold little other significance.
As much as the media tries to define “phases” of a campaign (introduction of the candidate, sharpening of contrasts, the final push), the reality is that any campaign that is able to will always try to hold a wide spectrum of events from stadiums to picnic table meetings and everything in between. A political revolution has to both meet people where they are physically and engage them with real solutions to problems in their lives. That can happen in large spaces alongside friends and neighbors in the community or in intimate venues where voters can ask questions and get access.
Our team’s pictures reflect that variety as surely in these second hundred days as in the first.
You will see the additions of two new photographers on the team who helped Fred, Hilary, Eric and myself collect these images. Christopher Dilts, who took the photos at Liberty University and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, and Ella Driscoll, who is the granddaughter of Senator Sanders and took the portrait of Bernie in a green room in New York City.
Thanks so much and see you in 100 days after the first votes have been cast in the 2016 election!
