Bernie Sanders is big with the kids. And he needs them to vote. [Video]

-snip-
Bernie Sanders said Wednesday night that what Democrats "need in this campaign is energy. We need youth." And if he is to have any real chance of winning the Democratic nomination and the presidency, he's right -- especially on his second point.

Our December Washington Post/ABC National poll showed Sanders just barely edging out Hillary Clinton among Democratic-leaning registered voters under 40 years old, 45-44. But among older voters, Clinton trounced Sanders, carrying the 40-64 age bracket 66-19. Young voters are often easier to attract to rallies during the campaign than to the polls on Election Day; older people are much more reliable voters.
