Dean makes a Wisconsin Play

Howard Dean raised $600K online yesterday – for the Wisconsin Primary. However and unfortunately (for the internet), he’s raising money on the net and blowing it on TV ads. He (and other politicians) would be far better off investing in the internet, educating voters and growing their base via email, web pages, chats, “social networks” and other emerging tools.
Internet use is growing while TV/newspaper users are declining.
Unfortunately, Dean’s new campaign manager is a former telco lobbyist.
