How does it come to be that the new darling of the evangelical right, Newt Gingrich, is financed primarily by the contributions of a casino mogul based in Las Vegas--sin city?

Cuz he fits right in.
Why not Vegas has been courting a family image since 1990 with all kinds of theme parks, and they know how to make money, but if the nation is un-employed there will be no spare change for the slots. They can recognize a winner in Vegas that's how the built a city lavished with water gushing out of fountains everywhere in the middle of the dessert, They know exactly were to place their money on a winner, second place is the first loser and they also know the first horse out of the gate seldom wins. Politics have always made strange bedfellows it's been said.
That's like bootleggers giving preachers money to keep the county dry. Certainly, that would never happen! 
Its like ALObama church groups taking gambling money from Mississippi Indian gambling operations to prevent gambling in AlObama. Only Ralph Reed and Bob Riley could explain that so that the Christians dont feel like dupes.
What did General George S. Patton say " The Whole World Loves a Winner, and Nobody Gives Two Hoots in Hell for a Loser "
Go Gingrich Go !!!!!
But Gingrich is a loser. Out of all the politicians to hold the job of Speaker of the House, he's the only one to lose his job over an ethics violation. What a loser!

Thrown out by his own party no less.
At least Hastert had enough sense to resign pre-scandal.
Gingrich left office as speaker in 1998, a hear after the conclusion of ethics charge (Jan 97) because of the poor Republican showing in the last election. At least, get the facts straight. He resigned, he wasn't thrown out.
Don't tell Us, tell those smart investors of his campaign that make all the money betting on winners. Take your money to Vegas and show them what you know, they will if you have a large enough credit line they will send you round trip airfare and put you up till the money runs out, then fly your broke *** back home and will do it as many times as you can generate the cash. They even have a line on the election you can call out there and lose money on the phone.
They love people that think they are smart, they're so serious about staying open and challenging the whole world to come try to out smart them the casino entrance has no lock on the doors and a few have no doors at all.
Vegas is going with OBama.

You are way behind the times. Vegas long ago gave up that family-friendly pretext, because it did not work.
"Now that Las Vegas has all but abandoned its attempts to lure the kiddies from Orlando and shows like Peepshow dominate the Strip, performances safe for the little ones are few and far between..."
I'm playing the odds of Romney getting in office and panicking. Obama is less likely go crazy with power. Romney would have ever Republician that gave him a dollar bill screaming "try something else MITT this ain't suiting my special interest"!!!!!!!! Obama and his advisors know what to do.

Obama is insane with power, you must be the only one who doesn't know.
Martial law is coming.

And we know that Obama never caters to a special interest. Solyndra ring a bell? LMAO
I truly believe Obama was pumped for years to believe he was just short of the second coming. Look at the grandiose settings he appear at in Germany. Anyother candidate would have been laughed out of Zeppelinfeld, not to mention Berlin. Remember the grandiose claims he made for himself -- the planet healing and the ocean levels receding. Roman Emperors rarely made such claims. He's a bewildering blend of incompetence and arrogance -- much damage has been done by such. Sometimes, more than by those who are truly evil.
OBama might step aside in Getingrich would agree to make him the first Emperor of the Moon.
Too bad Ralph Cramden can't send him there!

You may be right. My mama always used to say when I was a child, "The only people you see supporting a dry county are the preachers and the bootleggers." Truth has no expiration date.
Finally Prop, you've posted something I can agree with, and that's scary....
