Last week, Newt Gingrich failed to secure a spot on the ballot for Virginia’s March 6 presidential primary — an embarrassing setback for his campaign, but also a setback not unprecedented in American history, as campaign director Michael Krull noted on Facebook on Saturday:
>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.
Other Gingrich milestones and their equivalents throughout history:
- Gingrich’s birth = the Big Bang
- The time Newt Gingrich was pushed out of office by his own party = Cain killing Abel
- The time Newt Gingrich shut down the government after being forced to sit in the back of Air Force One = Rosa Parks
- Newt Gingrich’s idea to replace school janitors with children = Einstein’s theory of relativity
- The time Newt Gingrich’s car got stuck in some mud = Vietnam
- The time Callista made Gingrich do the dishes = slavery
