29. He campaigned in a primary but the media hype turned it into the general
Really. We all know that candidates tailor their messages differently in a primary campaign vs a general. General is much more centrist, rhetoric is toned down, etc. The media hype of IA turned it into a general referendum. THAT'S what Kerry and Edwards realized and adjusted their message to. Dean and Gephardt did not.
