"decisively" defeated Spencer in runoff
[edit]Besides the reference in the edit summary to the Wiki article naming a 56% (same as Battle's %) as a "landslide," several reporters and commentators on Huntsville TV the night of the election used the word "decisive." In most newspaper aritcles, etc., 56% percent is considered "decisive," if not a "landslide." One quickly Googled example: "Baumgardt earned a decisive 56 percent of the vote," "WAUSAU CITY COUNCIL RACES," Wausau Daily Herald, February 18, 2004, p. 6A. And, hello? Look at the headline given their story by The Huntsville Times in the last reference listed ... "decisive." Audemus Defendere (talk) 23:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
