Dean's campaign like no other

News analysis by Jill Lawrence, USA TODAY

DES MOINES — Howard Dean rose from long shot to front-runner in the Democratic presidential race by outworking his rivals at conventional politics and at the same time taking risks that would be unthinkable to most politicians.

Dean is best known for going with his gut — notably by opposing the Iraq war when hardly anyone else was — and for harnessing the power of the Internet to raise money and build a national organization.

"He's beating establishment candidates at their own game and breaking new ground with new techniques," says Doug Hattaway, a Democratic strategist who was Al Gore's spokesman in the 2000 presidential campaign.

Dean spent more time in Iowa and New Hampshire than anyone else. Anita Dunn, a top aide to candidate Bill Bradley in 2000, calls his approach "the best of Jimmy Carter in terms of starting early and sticking with it, even when nobody is interested in meeting you."

1. The photo is the best part

Good article, but look at the picture! The guy on Dean's left looks like O'Reilly with pancake make-up on and the the guy on Dean's right looks like a bloated Matt LeBlanc. Creepy.

3. Something is seriously wrong with that photo

Dean's head is GIANT, and you are right, I see Bill O'Reilly and Matt LeBlanc in the background too. Bizarre.
