Steve Grossman is widely considered to have played a pivotal role in the 2004 presidential campaign in which he was campaign advisor to candidate Howard Dean. After setbacks in primaries he was expected to win (Iowa and New Hampshire), Dean was facing a possible defeat in Wisconsin. Two days before the Wisconsin primary, campaign advisor Grossman "announced" through an article written by The New York Times Dean campaign correspondent Jodi Wilgoren that he would offer his services to any of the other major candidates "should Dean not win in Wisconsin". This "scoop" further undermined Dean's campaign. Grossman later issued a public apology.
Congressman Barney Frank has said that Grossman is "more thoughtful about public policy than most fundraisers."
His replacement at AIPAC was Melvin Dow.
