I love writing headlines for Dana Milbank columns. The twain <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/13/AR2008051302862.html?hpid=topnews" target="_blank">met</a> yesterday, and the options were too many and yet too few. I chose <b>This Is an Ex-Candidate</b>, but it wasn't my favorite Milbank headline. There were a number of runners-up. Did I choose correctly? Do you have a better idea? My other options:<br /><br /><b><li>Preaching to the Choir Invisible<br /><li>Pining for the Rose Garden<br /><li>Pining, or Passed On?</b> (<a href="http://www.jdland.com/jd" target="_blank">Jacqueline</a>'s idea)<br /><b><li>Hello, Polly!<br /><li>White Americans and the Norwegian Blue<br /><li>The Palindrome of 'Clinton' Would Be 'Notnilc'</b> (for true enthusiasts)Billnoreply@blogger.com
