Back during the '92 campaign, I ran into Andy Kopkind after a Jerry Brown rally in New York (a rally at which the Ramones provided musical entertainment, during which Joey Ramone declared: "I never fucking voted for anyone in my fucking life, but I'm fucking voting for fucking Jerry Brown, man!"). Andy, who along with colleague Alexander Cockburn was touting Jerry in the pages of The Nation at the time, told me (quoted from memory, sorry): "I don't like Jerry Brown. Never did. If by some accident he got the nomination, it would destroy the Democratic Party, and if by some accident he got elected president, he'd destroy the country. That's why I'm supporting him."
