I think that's quite absurd. If Sanders wins Iowa and leads in New Hampshire, then he becomes the front-runner, let alone a serious threat. I would say he's already a serious threat to her.

Obama never had this much non-primary generated momentum against Hillary. Never. A 26-point swing in 1 month. Because Obama never had much daylight between him and Hillary in terms of their positions. That primary came down to demographics because there was little else to talk about.

Bernie is different because he voted against the Patriot Act, wants to break up the banks, is against the TPP, and so on. All of these positions have become conventional orthodoxy within the Democratic base. So he's actually a stronger candidate against Clinton than Obama was because there's a clearer rationale for his anti-Clinton crusade.
