Forum Overview :: ELECTION WATCH 2012 :: Sheldon Adelson's kiss of death

[quote name="re:"][quote]Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is 0-5 in campaigns where he invested millions into super PACs to help Republican candidates. Adelson had put millions into super PACs supporting Senate candidates George Allen in Virginia and Connie Mack in Florida, and House candidate Shmuley Boteach in New Jersey. He had previously backed Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and Texas Senate candidate David Dewhurst, both of whom lost in primary elections. New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore tweeted, "With Kaine called, Adelson 0-5 for individual races he spent heavily in through super PACs this cycle. A Romney loss would be 0-6." The biggest super PAC donor of the 2012 election could wind up going 0-6 if Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney loses to President Barack Obama. [/quote][/quote]
