SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: Describing Defeat

The Martin Chronicles reporters have been all over Villa Hills and neighboring establishments listening to the residents react to last Tuesday's local election results. Outgoing Mayor Mike Martin was presented with an electoral eviction notice of historically bad proportions.

Remember, Martin only received 514 of the 3,224 votes cast last Tuesday. That is an amazing 84%-16% landslide. The beating Martin took was so bad that he got 300 less votes than a council candidate who dropped out of the race more than two months ago.

Several sources tell us that Martin is very angry about his embarrassing loss. These same sources tell us that Martin was absolutely convinced that he was going to cruise to re-election and that Martin "blames the residents" for his crushing defeat. Well, it was the electorate who cast a tidal wave of votes against Martin. But Martin is the one fully responsible for his aforementioned crushing defeat.

So, what are some of the words and phrases the residents are using to describe Martin's decisive debacle?:
