Billionaire Sheldon Adelson Considering Another $10 Million Check To Pro-Gingrich Super PAC

Newt Gingrich’s primary financial funder, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, is considering infusing the presidential hopeful’s super PAC with an additional $10 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. Adelson and his family have already given the Winning Our Future super PAC $11 million this year. With Gingrich floundering in the polls, Adelson is taking an almost-Machiavellian approach, according to a source close with the billionaire, by using “his cash to push Rick Santorum from his position atop the latest national polls…[thereby] improving the chances of Mitt Romney, who Mr. Adelson believes has a better chance to win November’s general election.”
