although the first one sounds what you're going for:
Quote:
An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.
An officeholder who has chosen not to run for reelection or is ineligible for reelection.
but I think the second one is more accurate:
Quote:
An ineffective person; a weakling.
It's lame to think Bush will win. Everyone can effectively give up hope for america if it does...and we can blame the un-cultured and barely diversified mid-west and southern states for not getting out enough.
Kerry will win. period.
EDIT forgot a "]"
