Dogfight: The 2012 Presidential Campaign in Verse by Calvin Trillin

3.0

Ah, this book reminds me of better times. I really liked the few breaks for prose that were in the book. They were all very funny and satirical. Some of the poems worked better than others. The rhymes were quite a stretch and stilted at points, and quite clever at others. It's an amusing summary of events, although it does focus far more on the Republican primaries than anything else in the race. It would have been nice to have more about Obama vs. Mitt, and the results.
