"FacebookPinterest\n\nLAS VEGAS\u2014So here he was: soundly beaten in yet another primary, devoid of message, organization, and (reportedly) money, the Gingrich campaign boiled down to Newt, alone on stage, personally reckoning with reporters in a hushed room, insisting that it's all about to turn around.\n\nYou'd never have guessed, making your way among the clanging bells of The Venetian's mobbed casino, that such an empty, silent room could exist in this garish hotel. Reporters\u2014only 20 or so at first\u2014waited quietly in neat rows, looking into their laptops like students in a gold-hued library. There were no voters in evidence and not so much as a clap when Gingrich strode in from a side entrance: just the clacking of cameras.\n\nIt was a vintage Gringrich affair\u2014less campaign event than bargaining session. You must believe me. How could you not believe me? Daughter Jackie paced the press riser, shaking her head at the questions being asked. Wife Callista, all fortified hair and wooden smile, sat in the audience as Newt promised a \"series\" of upcoming victories that would allow him to make up the delegate gap he faces.\n\nHe quoted the tweets of political scientist Larry Sabato. He invoked Reagan. He called reporters by name, when he knew them. But he did not, over 20-plus minutes, provide any answers about his path forward or his plan to rekindle his personal appeal to voters. Jeff Zeleny of the Times asked how Gingrich might change his approach with Romney \"in his head.\"\n\n\"I don't want to tell you now,\" Newt said, to the first laughter of the night. Having lightened the mood thus, he went on to reveal that he's rooting for the Giants in the Super Bowl, wished everyone a great evening, and exited the way he'd come in."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
