Salon's Steve Kornacki has it Exactly Right: Sheldon Adelson is using Gingrinch to help Romney

Adelson knows Gingrich doesn't have a snowball's chance, but his main goal now is blocking Santorum, thus greasing the path for Romney to be nominated. Why? Two reasons:

1. Adelson is in the gambling business. Of course he's concerned about Santorum's Puritanical views.

2. Adelson has said that he's a one-issue guy, that issue being Israel. With Mitt "Empty Suit" Romney in the White House, it'll be very easy to get the country into war with Iran.

Skeptical? Go to Salon and check out Kornacki's very insightful articles.
