8. I did a little bit of canvassing on Long Island today

I saw people use strong body language in their rejection of Secretary Clinton, and light up when speaking in support of Senator Sanders.

I guess it's OK to say it was running over five to one Sanders vs. Clinton. About one in five undecided, and a couple voting Republican or disgusted at the whole process (I only canvass registered Democrats). I had one meh day last week with lots of undecideds and a bit less Sanders support. Though of course in Manhattan Clinton has many devoted followers, and the support of the party. Upstate might have a lot of party loyalty, and be relatively more conservative, so I won't guess about them.

Some of the "feelthebern" canvassers* beat me to some doors today, I saw their literature in the doors at homes where nobody was answering. A few people also said they'd talked to them.

*I'm using the MiniVan app a campaign volunteer set me up with. This is the grass roots one: http://www.wired.com/2016/01/sanders-new-canvassing-app-on-boards-volunteers-in-seconds/
