Mitt Romney Meeting With Sheldon Adelson In Las Vegas

Mitt Romney is meeting with Sheldon Adelson -- the billionaire casino magnate and big Newt-Gingrich supporting super-PAC donor -- in Las Vegas on Tuesday, according to CBS News and CNN. Romney is holding a fundraiser later Tuesday, hosted by Donald Trump at his hotel, that Gingrich will also attend.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam, gave $20 million to Winning Our Future, the pro-Gingrich super PAC. The cash infusion helped buoy the former GOP presidential candidate's campaign, though Gingrich's own campaign eventually ended with $4.7 million in debt.

Adelson and his wife also gave $5 million to the GOP Congressional Leadership Fund, a GOP-aligned super PAC supporting congressional candidates.

He and his family have donated some $26.5 million to super PACs, pushing Adelson past liberal billionaire financier George Soros to become the all-time leader in giving disclosed money to independent spending groups.

Mitt Romney: Racist Birther.

1. Making Romney the Gambling candidate. Go family values!

7. Mormons used to be deeply involved in the management of the casinos in Las Vegas.

I don't know whether they still are.

2. It would be interesting to see

an audit of where all that $ is really going and in whose pockets. Seems like a great way to get around a gift tax if worded for "Super PAC campaign activities".

3. When Romney loses, he can start a nightclub act as a magician

He'll amaze people at the way he can smell their wallet or purse and tell exactly how much money they have. He sniffs out money like a hog sniffs out truffles from the ground.

4. But there is no coordination with the Super PAC actions

5. rMoney is lying down with any ole number of dogs

these days, if they have money.

6. Getting his marching orders.....

[gratuitous]

8. I wonder if Sheldon got anything in writing?

Considering what happened the last time he tried to buy a politician, I'd think Adelson would be a little more circumspect this time around. Make sure to check under the hood, as it were. That 2011 Gingrich he paid for last year just turned out to be a money pit, without any significant upgrades from the 1998 model that had to be recalled and mothballed.
