Literary Efforts To Commemorate Departures

A few selected bye-ku from this morning's announcement that Rudy Giuliani is bowing out of the Republican nomination race - Paul Chesser got the first licks in:

Late state strategy
Like skipping the game's first half
Losing was foregone

Likeable Rudy
Wasn't going to get nod
Too many Christians

Jon Sanders extended the meme:

Rudy's dropped out, too
Can't be president if you're
"America's Mayor"

Romney's on the ropes,
(For what it's worth) — Looks like
McCain v. Clinton

So: Rudy, Edwards,
And conservativism —
They're all sunk this year

My humble suggestion:

Unlike Democrats
We don't often move ahead
Driving on the left
