Report: Gingrich benefactor may shift support to Romney

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Jewish-American casino magnate Sheldon Adelson may shift his support from Newt Gingrich to Mitt Romney in the race for the White House, according to a report published over the weekend in the New York Times.

Adelson, the world's 16th wealthiest person, and his wife Miriam donated $10 million last month to Winning our Future, the pro-Gingrich super PAC. Much of this was apparently used to fund an aggressive anti-Romney publicity campaign.

According to the New York Times report, however, several Adelson associates believe the billionaire would be willing to give even more to Romney, should he eventually emerge as the Republican nominee against U.S. President Barack Obama.

Adelson has been in personal touch with both candidates recently, meeting Gingrich at a get together of Gingrich supporters at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, which Adelson owns.

Two weeks ago, Adelson held a telephone conversation with Romney, in which the two discussed, among other things, Romney's campaign messaging. Adelson associates described the conversation as "cordial."

Adelson is also known as a staunch supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is the owner of the free, pro-Netanyahu daily Israel Hayom, which recently surpassed Yedioth Ahronoth to become Israel's most widely circulated newspaper.

$10 million is chump change to Adelson. Giving money to Gingrich was an explicit message to Romney about just how far Adelson expects him to go in exchange for his dough.

Gotta love those PACs

That's the man to ask for some spare change, then.

Looks like he's ready to spend, too.

It would make no difference who he gave to as they would still be a slave to Israel. He expects payback financially of course.

Either will be far less likely to explode Muslims with drone attacks without due process. You should vote for anyone but Obomber.

Well if he's gonna flip flop like that, Romney is definitely the right guy to back.
