Sanders has two major problems.

1. He looks kine of like someone's grandpa. I know it should matter, but it does. A lot of people simply won't vote for him because of that.

2. He is a self described democratic socialist. Many people hear the world socialist and freak out. I actually think he has some good ideas, and I think the democratic base would get behind him, but I'm not sure how many moderate, middle class people would vote for him after a lifetime of being told how terrible socialism is (even though we already have a good deal of socialism in this country, some of which they like agree with).
