Gingrich's sugar daddy says Newt’s doomed

3/29/2012

Las Vegas casino mogul and Newt Gingrich's campaign bankroller Sheldon Adelson had this to say recently about the GOP hopeful: "It appears as though he's at the end of his line," reports JewishJournal.com. Adelson, whose family has funded Gingrich to the tune of $16 million, has little use for Rick Santorum. "I know Rick. I like him. We're friendly. But I got to tell you something, I don't want him running my country," he said. Gingrich may be a lost cause, but don't expect Adelson to jump on the Mitt Romney bandwagon any time soon. "The problem with Romney -- he's not the bold decision-maker like Newt Gingrich is."
