Oddly enough, way I remember it, Clinton did not gain a clear lead in the Dem primaries of 1992 until quite late in the race. Throughout the first primaries - up till Super Tuesday, I think - he kind of had the image of being the machine politician in the contest, being the favourite of the establishment. From what I remember he only roused tepid suport for a long while, with Tsongas and Jerry Brown, coming from two different political corners, enthusing the pundits and party activists.
