Howard Dean another Jimmy Carter?
Don't laugh... according to probably the nearest thing Iowa has to a guru, The Des Moines Register's David Yepsen, Dean has a lot of the same characteristics as the former President; and those will stand him in good stead when it comes to mobilising idealistic young volunteers to stand in snowdrifts and wave placards.
Yepsen mentions specifically Dean's online efforts:
One of the most interesting stories of the 2004 campaign is Dean's use of the www.meetup.com Web site to connect supporters with one another. Other candidates have used the Internet to raise money, but Dean uses it to get campaign operations to self-start around the country. Nationwide, more than 34,000 people have identified themselves for Dean via the Internet, he said.
