Beware the candidacy of Howard Dean. It sure did look good from the outside until the first votes were cast. Turned out there was no there, there.
While I don’t think Donald has to do everything a conventional campaign does, he certainly has to start realizing that converting poll results to actual votes requires something else. A ground game is uber important.
When a primary candidate is packing 20,000 seat venues with a couple of days notice I don’t think ground game will be a problem.
It is not safe to compare two candidates. Howard Dean was a bit off-putting, to say the least.
