“If Sheldon Adelman is willing to give him $100M, why should we be concerned about Newt. “

You give to much credit to someone with money. Because Mr. Adelman has a lot of money, I should credit him with being wiser than me? Mr. Adelman is clearly better at running casinos than I am. Michael Moore has more money than me, and he’s an idiot.

It’s more than the couch incident. It’s Gingrich’s ability to just come out of left field... calling Ryan’s budget proposal right wing social engineering. Or his flirtations with amnesty.

Having said that, I still think Gingrich is the best available choice.

I have been tied up for the day and haven't been able to respond til now. You haven't researched Newt's thoughts on Rep Ryan's budget. Newt thought it was a great piece of legislation and said if able to he would vote for it. His comment on social engineering had nothing to do with his opinion on Ryan's budget. You also don't give people with money very much credit. I don't know what you financial status is but people with money have either inherited it, won it in a lottery, or in addition have earned it. Adelman was willing to risk a tidy fortune that the casino he was building in Vegas would be a success. Did he have a guarantee of success?? No!! That's risk taking. He laid it on the line because he had ideas you and I didn't have nor would be willing to risk. He also was able to determine that there was a need and he provided it. And finally he had the ability to find solutions to problems. Michael Moore might be an idiot, but he recognized a need, and he filled it. It doesn't matter what side of the political coin you fit, it matters that you recognize a problem, think of a solution and finally are willing to risk capital to solve it and reap the rewards. That's why I give so much credit to those who have bucks$$$$$$. As other examples, Howard Hughes, Donald Trump both had parents that had money which they then used to build empires from their own initiatives and ideas. Adelman thinks evidently that Newt is the one to solve the problem we are presently in. Amen.
