#2 The NJDC is refusing to back down because they need the publicity for fundraising.

#3 The NJDC is refusing to back down because they need the publicity for fundraising.

It would be amusing if all the money they raise is diverted towards fighting the lawsuit. Think of it as another campaign contribution by Adelson - money spent by NJDC on the lawsuit isn't spent attacking Romney. Pocket change for Adelson (who's 79), but potentially ruinous for NJDC.

#4 $60,000,000.00. This how you do it. Don't just defend yourself, let the left wing smear machine you will break their bank acconts.

#5 Lemme get this straight: Prostitution is OK in Nevada and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, says nothing about it. But it's not OK for Sheldon Adelson to keep a few girls at his Macau resort where, presumably, prostitution is also OK.

But wait, there's more. What about those Secret Service boys who got caught with their pants down in Cartagena? What if they wanted to kick in $100 bucks or so for the candidate of their choice? Is the NJDC gonna go through all the bordellos in the whole wide world looking for johns who might contribute to Mitt Romney? How come the never got after Teddy Kennedy?

#6 Prostitution is not legal in all NV counties, especially the major (Clark, Douglas, Washoe, etc.). Usually it's OK in the lesser neighboring county

#9 The Donks do not like that Adelson has pledged a large part of his fortune to defeat Obama.

#10 Adelson is just putting his money where his mouth is. Good for him I'd say.
