LIKE Barack Obama, the first African- American US president, Thomas Bradley, the 38th mayor of Los Angeles, made history when he was elected the first African-American mayor of the city in 1973 - a position in which he served for 20 years.
But when Mr Bradley decided to run for governor of California in 1982 and later in 1986, he was defeated each time by the Republican George Deukmejian - and that despite opinion polls conducted on the eve of the election that showed him being ahead (and by a large margin in 1982), giving rise to a term that only political junkies may be familiar with: the Bradley Effect.
