Ahead of a Las Vegas summit gathering together Republican presidential hopefuls for meetings with mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, a new report is out about the casino magnate's purported favorite to win 2016: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.



Rubio, who recently announced his presidential candidacy, is coming out ahead in what some have dubbed the "Sheldon primary," according to Politico. The news outlet cites sources close to Adelson, who say that the 81-year-old billionaire likes Rubio's strong defense stance, and especially his unflagging support for Israel. The Republican Jewish Coalition, of which Adelson is a board member, is hosting its spring meeting in Nevada this weekend.

The Las Vegas mogul reportedly called Rubio "the future of the Republican party," and added that the young Florida senator's Cuban heritage would widen the draw of a party notoriously comprised of older, white males.

I love Vegas as much as the next fella but when I think of Vegas good government is the last thing to come to mind.

1. Sheldon Adelson has lost his mind. n/t

2. He gets a twofer if he supports Rubio because Rubio opposes online gambling.

Welcome to the 21st century...

In the old days when the mob owned Vegas they would rough up folks trying in intrude on their casino business. Now CEOs can get Congress to eliminate their competition.

3. I thought

prostitution was illegal in Las Vegas. Why is Rubio getting away with breaking another law?
