The 1992 New York Democratic Primary was a knock down drag out affair between Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and his one remaining challenger Former California Governor Jerry Brown. The two men pulled no punches as they fought over the delegates in this state , that was no stranger to rowdy politics. 

Brown would accuse Clinton of shaking down the Arkansas poultry industry for thousands of dollars in legal fees for his wife's law firm in Little Rock. Clinton would return the fire going after Brown's constant reinventing of himself, and the fact that he had been known for his shaking down of California business interests for years. 

They both went straight for the jugular and it left hard feelings that did not end after the primary was over. But Bill Clinton would win it, and Jerry Brown would lose not only to Bill Clinton but also to Paul Tsongas, who had suspended his campaign a couple of weeks earlier. That would seal the fate of Jerry Brown and finally give Bill Clinton his party's nomination for President.
