Sorry for the late response, but I did some research and it appears that Adelson was a major SUPERPac donor. Which won't hurt Newt all that badly. But low and behold, he jumped over to Romney. Very interesting.......

Newt has been getting good donations and I think he still has a chance.

Unless you have found something else, Adelson hasn’t jumped to Romney. He only said that he would support Romney “if” he’s the nominee.

You may recall just before the Nevada primary Romney floated a “trial balloon” about automatically raising the minimum wage. I felt at the time that it was a “shot across the bow to Adelson. If that came to pass it would cost Adelson a lot of money as most of those casinos owns are staffed by union workers. Union workers contracts are usually tied to the minimum wage; if it increases then their hourly wage increases by a like amount.

Other than possibly gaining some union votes in Nevada, there was no other reason Romney should have favored raising the minimum wage; as that would be a job killer and would raise the cost of everything.

Looks like Romney got Adelson’s attention ...he hasn't mention that minimum wage increase in several days.

I’m beginning to think everybody in this world is for sale:

“The move seems to be weeks in the making. After poor showings by Gingrich in the last several races and the re-resurgence of Rick Santorum, the former House speaker has once again been pushed to the back of the Republican field. And Adelson may be shifting his focus. According to CNN, Adelson met with Mitt Romney in Nevada last week and “assured Romney that he will be behind him 100 percent should he become the nominee.”
