Campaign management is critical for both the primary and general election, as jfern's Doonesbury sequence points out. Dukakis spent a great deal of organzation to win the Democratic nomination in a large field, but didn't make the same investment in the general, which is a very different race.
As a resident of MA through much of the 80's, I have found it interesting that the more convservative of the MA governing pair (Dukakis) was paineted as more liberal than his ostensibly more liberal Lt Gov (Kerry) in 2004. Again, this goes directly to campaign management.
