Hanover, New Hampshire (CNN)Bernie Sanders was preaching to the choir. And the choir was eating it up.
Just across the border from his home state of Vermont, Bernie Sanders laid out his vision for the country on Saturday to a few dozen people crammed into the kitchen, living room and dining room of a charming home in Hanover.
"Our country today faces a huge set of enormous problems," said the not-always-upbeat Sanders, before he launched into a 25-minute speech that described what ails the United States and how his policies could help. "We probably have more serious problems than any time since the Great Depression."
Sanders called for a "political revolution" in the country, starting with, he said, universal health care, public funding of elections and breaking up the Wall Street banks, among other policies.
snip* "I think we are reasonably close," Sanders told CNN at the event. "The clock is ticking. If we do it, I've got to get out there. So I think we are looking at an announcement in the pretty near future."
