Billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson just donated $10 million to Mitt Romney's Super PAC, and told Forbes he is willing to spend $100 million or more to ensure President Obama is not re-elected.
Adelson is by far the biggest political donor in American politics. Before this latest contribution, he had given more than $26 million to Super PACs in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That includes the $21.5 million he gave to Newt Gingrich's Super PAC, which single-handedly kept the former House Speaker's presidential campaign alive.

I think I like Sheldon.
So, it’s Adelson vs. Soros ?
Why advertise these contributions? Seems counter-productive to me. You don’t see the big name big dollar liberal donors claiming to be willing to spend $xx million to defeat someone. They just do it and let the PAC do its job etc. I would advise him to not publicize the contributions. Don’t hide them and don’t deny...just do it quietly. Many are turned off by the large contributions and having unequal influence etc.

Myth should choose Newt as VeeP... it would unify the republicans somewhat..
BUT many would be hoping for an accident to happen to Myth..
If Only Myth was not such a Union Goon.. but alas, he is..
Amazing how Myth goes way out of his way not to mention the Unions pro or con..
No mention at all none, zero, zip..
A Union Goon... you know... like Zero is..
Works for me! It’s good to have someone to rival George Soros in spending!
I’m a disabled veteran who can barely walk, but I’m ready to raise $1 million dollars to defeat Mr. Obama.
Yup.
I think it's better for Adelson to have announced it than have to respond to the MSM shouting about it. Get it out there, and when the MSM snarks about such large contributions, just use Andrew Breitbart's typical response, "So?"
LOL!! I wonder if the official AP photo of the event was taken in close quarters to give the impression of a large crowd....? I wonder if the photogs will entertain us with “halo” photos this time around??
Then the Unions should be supporting Romney. But I haven’t heard of any Unions supporting Romney yet.
But a lot of Union members will be voting for Romney in the privacy of the voting booth.
Now, if Adelson gave everyone who wanted one a hundred dollar voucher at his casinos, I don’t think there’d be that much negative feedback about this story, or at least not as many
votes that would gravitate to Obama out of the “sheer horror” that here is a guy willing to put up big bucks to defeat Obama.

Four in a row, that has to be a new record.
