After Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich failed to secure enough valid signatures to qualify for the primary ballot here in Virginia, his national campaign director Michael Krull wrote:
Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941: We have experienced an unexpected set-back, but we will re-group and re-focus with increased determination, commitment and positive action. Throughout the next months there will be ups and downs; there will be successes and failures; there will be easy victories and difficult days – but in the end we will stand victorious.
Yes, that December 1941.
