    Forget the political correctness crap please.

    For crying out loud.

    The loser of the race in the loser.

    Using nice sounding words works for a day or two, but as soon as everyone figures it out, your back to square one again.

    For instance the term mentally challenged that sound better then the term retarded, yes.

    But does it really, it really comes down to how you use the word or words not what words you use.

    Insufficient data. Was it close? Are they a Democrat? Then you call them the winner.
