It's not advice for national ones, like for the Presidency. I don't know how a national candidate campaigns across the country, appealing to the different areas.

But a primary is different from an election facing a Republican. In the primary, all the candidates are Dems and sign on to the same party platform. It's when the district is faced with two ideologically opposed candidates that it would matter much more, I would think.
