Julian Zelizer : Big city mayoralities have not proven to be a launching pad for higher office.

Being mayor of a major city, in New York City’s case, with more than 8 million people, is a career-killer, he says.

Zelizer says the last three mayors ran for president; none won a single primary state.

He says it's not clear why mayors have flopped, though there are a number of possible causes.

In 1950 , when the population of America was 151 million — less than half of the current total — New York City’s population was slightly under 8 million .

Today , it is 8.4 million , a very modest growth compared to the rest of the country.

The result is that mayors represent a smaller portion of the overall population, but may be getting increasingly negative attention.
