MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A Las Vegas billionaire has contributed $5 million to an independent group backing Newt Gingrich, breathing new life into the former House Speaker's struggling campaign for the GOP presidential nomination and casting renewed attention on the role of such groups in the 2012 contest.
A person familiar with the development said Sheldon Adelson, a casino mogul and longtime donor to Republican candidates, made the contribution Friday to Winning Our Future, a super PAC run by Gingrich allies. The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity and was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said Adelson is expected to contribute as much or more to the candidate who eventually wins the Republican nomination, be it Gingrich or one of his rivals.

Hey, what Casino does Adelson own - we’ll have to help his cause since he is helping ours!
Wow. wouldn’t you just love to have that kind of money to give to your favorite causes and people you support.
Way to go!
It matters. It’s money he desperately needs to go after Romney, especially heading into S. Carolina. It also gives other contributors confidence that Gingrich still has life in him.
Wow, you really showed me. That post makes me understand how wrong I am about Gingrich and I bow to your wisdom and authority. A man with such clear power as you must be one to heed.
From here on out I will never again feel negative about Newt and his
1. genius ongoing support of ethanol subsidies that included stopping Bill Archer from ending the subsidies for good. 2. 2003 campaign for the prescription drug entitlement 3. his GW commercial with Nancy Pelosi 4. his calling Paul Ryan's budget "Right wing social engineering"..... And on and on. I never realized until your brilliantly thought out reply how wrong I've been about Gingrich. I will now no longer hope he is the next candidate to drop out.
FWIW You are not important enough to fire me.
Your picture is so appropriate.
