In a Long Presidential Race, Dean Sprints

From the NY Times:
"...Five months before the first ballot is cast and 15 months before the last will be counted, Dr. Dean, the former governor of Vermont, spent the past four days being ferried from rally to rally in a chartered jet as though in the heat of a head-to-head national campaign rather than in the nascent chapter of a long-shot bid in a crowded field. He hit states like Oregon that have little to do with nominations but could be crucial in a general election and all but ignored his Democratic rivals as he roused rabid audiences against their Republican nemesis, George W. Bush."

1. dean is playing the right notes

he is going after the individual vote -- making the people feel like they have a stake in his campaign. he may not always be the most eloquent speaker -- but he makes that human connection.
and it's paying off big time. i hope other candidates now and in the future take a page from his play book.
