Have you ever heard of the concept of sunk costs? Apparently Sheldon Adelson hasn't, since he's donating ANOTHER $10 million dollars to Newton 3 wives. More after the squiggle...
Clearly Newt is the only man Sheldon trusts to run the country because adding this latest donation Sheldon has now contributed $21 million to Gingrich's Super Pac. Given that the Gingrich campaign had only raised about $13 million total through the 4th quarter of last year it's not a stretch to say that Adelson's money is carrying the Gingrich campaign. And such a wholesome source of revenue it is.
Considering Gingrich's electoral chances seem to be cratering even among Republicans, this may seem like a waste of money. But if Adelson wants to fund his own personal version of Operation Hilarity I say more power to him. By all means give Gingrich the resources to go nuclear on everyone(you just know he will). Newt thinks of himself as a transformational figure and like a Republican Kurgan he believes he can be the only one. Regardless of what mindblowingly negative campaigning emerges as a result of this donation I will be grabbing my popcorn.
