I voted other.

I do think that Sanders could win in New Hampshire. If he does, that could help him in other states. Whether he wins New Hampshire depends obviously on Iowa.

Clinton could do what Reagan did in 1976 and announce her VP choice early, albeit an unlikely gambit.

Is Sander's age an issue? Reagan was 69 in 1980 and 74 in 1984 and lived to be 93.
Admittedly it could be an issue, but it didn't hurt Reagan, not much. Moreover, many people thought that Reagan was too conservative to be electable. Likewise arguing that Sanders is too liberal may end up being a mistake. I am not aware of any polls that show how he would do in the general election. Are there any?
