34. No he didn't
A number of junior campaign staffers (myself among them) joined up with local volunteers in Connecticut and New York to run a completely unauthorized, unofficial, and seat of the pants campaign to win some tsongas delegates and maybe, just maybe, get Paul to reconsider his decision.

As it turned out, we did a hell of a lot better than we expected in Connecticut, beting Clinton and finishing not far behind Brown. Even in New York, where big media and labor organization are key, we managed to snag some delegates in suburban districts.

Paul Tsongas was one of the most decent and honorable men ever to serve in the US Senate, and he would have made America proud as president.
