Billionaire Casino Mogul Gives $5 Million to Pro-Gingrich SuperPac 
-------------------------------------------------------------------



In campaign news, the billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson has given
$5 million to a pro-Gingrich Super Pac called Winning Our Future. While
individual donors are barred from giving more than $2,500 to a
candidate, they can give unlimited money to independent groups known as
Super Pacs. Adelson had previously given more than $7 million to
Gingrich's former PAC, American Solutions for Winning the Future.
Adelson is the owner of Israel’s largest daily newspaper and a close
friend of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is worth more
than $21 billion.
