Supposedly, the Romney camp met with Adelson in Vegas during their primary to see if Adelson would give money to Romney. The media confronted Newt to see if he would be upset about it. That is when Newt said Adelson is for getting rid of Obama because he is anti-Israel, so whoever he feels can win, he will help.
What else could he say? “I’m incredibly upset, Adelson can only give money to me.”
Adelson is for Newt- if not, he wouldn’t have given him a dime- and he would have allowed Newt to disintegrate after Iowa.
The WSJ spin on this is wholly erroneous- Adelson wants Newt to be President— all else is cover and public relations.
