With respect for anyone who wishes to use his or her own unique verbiage, may I suggest that we generally refer to him as the defeated former guy. Whatever term or phrase we may personally use to describe him, I believe it will be more effective if we fairly consistently use the term defeated in our terminology. It reflects reality in a way that deserves to be regularly repeated. At least that's my perception. Thank you for considering my suggestion, fellow DU friends and associates. - Dave

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
