Pat Leahy

DENVER -- It was a good morning for U.S. Sen. Pat Leahy. At one point he stood in front of a full room of over 100 people gathered for an event in his honor. Next to him Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean was calling him a "true statesman" and "the conscience of the Senate." Leahy was appreciative of the remarks, but he just saw something he definately wanted a picture of.

So he grabbed his camera, leaned behind Dean, who was still speaking, and snapped a picture of fellow Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart, and Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken being friendly.

Along with them were some of the biggest names in Vermont and national Democratic politics for his political action committee's fundraiser.

Two Vermonters are currently scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver.

Democratic National Committee chairman and former Gov. Howard Dean will preside over various portions of the opening night's events, while U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Middlesex) is scheduled to speak on Tuesday.

Jeb Spaulding and U.S. Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Middlesex) were both among the winners this week, while Anthony Pollina (I) ends up on the loser side again. Find out why and see who else made this week's Winners & Losers. | CLICK HERE
