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.
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?"
I agree with both of you.
It would be better to keep this quiet — but, that’s not possible, so the second-best thing is to get it out there first.
