Adelson's Pro-Romney Donations Will Be 'Limitless,' Could Top $100M
Forbes has confirmed that billionaire Sheldon Adelson, along with his wife Miriam, has donated $10 million to the leading Super PAC supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney–and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A well-placed source in the Adelson camp with direct knowledge of the casino billionaire’s thinking says that further donations will be “limitless.”
Adelson, who has built Las Vegas Sands into an global casino empire, will do “whatever it takes” to defeat Obama, this source says. And given that Adelson is worth $24.9 billion–and told Forbes in a recent rare interview about his political giving that he had been willing to donate as much as $100 million to his initial presidential preference, Newt Gingrich–that “limitless” description telegraphs potential nine-digit support of Romney.
Adelson, this source continues, believes that “no price is too high” to protect the U.S. from what he sees as Obama’s “socialization” of America, as well as securing the safety of Israel. He added that Adelson, 78, considers this to be the most important election of his lifetime.

The information wasn't on Huffington Post or in her daily talking points email. That's why she didn't post it. That's why I posted it, before she could. I'm glad this dude may give up to 100 million to the GOP Pac's. The Democrats wouldn't bark at a 100 million dollar contribution to their Pac's. Democracy4Sale is a partisan hypocrite.
The Daily Show pointed out last night that Adelson donated $20 million to Newt's Super PAC and used it to trash Romney. He is just buying influence and this is why this should not be allowed.
