Mark Levin: GOP won't grow appeal with ‘embarrassing’ public pandering to casino owner Adelson


3/30/14, "Mark Levin: GOP Will Not Grow Appeal With ‘Embarrassing’ Pander To Adelson," Jen Kuznicki

"Mark Levin penned a quick facebook note about the sucking up going on in Las Vegas
by Republican Presidential hopefuls this weekend, at a gathering of a couple hundred wealthy Jewish donors, including Sheldon Adelson.
Frankly, this is embarrassing.
The GOP will not broaden its appeal with this kind of odd public pandering to a casino owner by Bush, Christie, Walker, Bolton and Kasich. “
Levin then linked to the Washington Post story, “Governors Christie, Walker and Kasich woo billionaire Sheldon Adelson at Vegas event,” in which three Governors are featured, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, and John Kasich of Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Ohio respectively.

Officially, the governors were in Las Vegas to address the spring leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, which has long promoted a staunchly pro-Israel and interventionist foreign policy. But their political objective was to build relationships with potential benefactors who could bankroll future campaigns.
The biggest draw was Adelson, who hosted the conference at the Venetian, his sprawling and flashy casino hotel. Adelson and his wife, Miriam, spent more than $93 million in the 2012 elections and have signaled they will spend heavily in the next presidential campaign.”"
