Democratic handwringing, superdelegate doubts, dire warnings about electability ... Sound familiar?

 THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Primaries; DOUBTS OF VOTERS TEMPER EUPHORIA IN CLINTON'S CAMP
By R. W. APPLE JR.
Published: April 9, 1992

Troubling the party's leaders, including Gov. Mario M. Cuomo of New York, who discussed the problem with Mr. Clinton by phone late Tuesday night, was the fear that hand-to-hand combat among the Democrats in the three months before their convention would play into President Bush's hands.

Democratic officeholders and strategists were split over what to do next. Some sought a negotiated cease-fire; some pressed for a new candidacy. As Mr. Clinton's Southern supporters in the Senate circulated a letter in an effort to persuade uncommitted delegates to endorse him, others like Representative Don Edwards of California tried to persuade colleagues not to act yet.

Asked how he could win, Mr. Brown answered, "The scenario would be winning Pennsylvania and Clinton stumbling in some continuing way that would render him unsatisfactory to enough of the delegates. We'll see what happens."
