Former Governor L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia writes in Politico of the possible impact on this year’s election of the so-called "Bradley effect" — which he says, rather proudly, some have called the "Wilder effect," since a similar thing happened to him when he ran for governor in 1989. Then, as when Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley had run for governor of California seven years previously, the pre-election opinion polls showed him with a substantial lead over his Republican opponent. But where Mr Bradley had lost to George Deukmejian, Mr Wilder just scraped home by under half a percentage point over Marshall Coleman — because, says Governor Wilder, "voters won’t admit that they will not vote for a minority candidate."
