Newt Gingrich is looking to make history...
Again.
In December 1776, the future of America hung on the fate of a bedraggled army barely a step ahead of annihilation. When the British fleet arrived in New York, an American soldier marveled it was as if all London was afloat.
After several devastating defeats, his troops exhausted, Washington decided to cross the Delaware on Christmas and surprise the British in Trenton. If the raid backfired, the war was likely over, and he would be captured and killed.
Washingtons troops crossed the river that night, in flat-bottomed boats, tossed by ice floes and raging winds. Once on land, they marched nine miles to Trenton in a driving snowstorm. Washington considered calling it off, but he'd come too far.
Arriving at Trenton, the spirited troops surprised the British, and the battle ended quickly, 1000 British killed or captured, to two American combat deaths.
Washington followed with another victory at Princeton, and several after that. In the space of a few weeks, American troops irreversibly changed the dynamic of the war.
In other words, a moment in history when a few ALL-IN men changed the world.
Newt Gingrich is looking for ALL-IN men and women to stand up to the power brokers and playmakers in Washington, DC.

Someone told me that painting is not historically accurate. A historically accurate one is now temporarily hanging in the New-York Historical Society building, if it’s not gone already.
I believe Washington chose as the ‘watchword(s)’ for that operaton “Victory or Death”. Appropriate ... fight to the political death between Newt & Romney & Newt is going “all in”.
