The economy is so bad now that Obama will win UNLESS the GOP can pull off a deal with Iran that sharply reduces oil prices and rallies stocks hard this fall.

If that happens all bets are off IMHO.

Tom Bradley was a five-term Mayor in Los Angeles lasting a twenty year period.

The election prior to his loss another black politician, Nate Holden, had garnered 1/3 of the vote signaling Bradley's weakness.

Just prior to the final election, Tom Bradley approved oil drilling in the affluent Pacific Palisades. This lost him the mayoral race at the age of 76.

People who imagined a "Tom Bradley" effect must be referring to politicians who approve oil drilling projects.

His name was Tom Bradley, not Bill Bradley.

The Bill Bradley effect is when you run for president but have no ideas, platform, or clue as to why you're doing it.
