Obama essentially used the "Dean" model to fundraise. Then he motivated the young people as Dean did in the beginning. The media ended up destroying Dean with the scream incident but I think Dean helped the party a lot. Before, democrats did not raise that much money. They also did not go after the young kids. They just assumed they would not show up because they did not in the past. I was not for Dean during that primary (thought we need John Kerry and his military experience since we were are war) but I do see how much of an effect he has had on the party.
