Newt Gets More Support While Obama Loses Support

Looks like Newt is getting 10 million dollars for his campaign. 
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's faltering campaign is about to get another shot in the arm, CBS News has learned. 
Billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson plans to give another $10 million to the outside group backing the former Georgia lawmaker who is running behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, a source close to Adelson told CBS News.
 Obama on the other hand is losing financial backing from a San Francisco donor.
San Francisco philanthropist Susie Tompkins Buell, one of the Democratic Party's most generous benefactors, is keeping her checkbook closed when President Obama holds high-priced California fundraisers this week. 
"I want to look him in the eye and say, 'Thank you so much' " for his work, said Buell, who expresses deep disappointment in the president's leadership on environmental issues, especially climate change. 
With Obama's 2012 re-election campaign in full swing, "I would just love to write my big check ... or have a high-dollar dinner here" on his behalf, she said. "I can't."

So, this is great news for Gingrich. I really hope he gets some momentum and gets back on top. I cannot see myself voting for Romney. He has done many things that are "legal" but quite unethical, and while I like many of the things Santorum has said, he is well known for being a corrupt politician.

Newt is not much better. Let's face it, it's hard to find someone who is not corrupt or has been associated with some sort of scandal but, I like that Newt is not afraid of the press. We need a conservative with some balls. I think a lot of the whole marriage/divorce stuff has been taken out of context. He actually makes efforts in putting forth a conservative agenda and has proven that he is capable of getting things done. With that being said, I like him the best.

Let me know what you think. Comment below.
