Newt Gingrich: PAC Fundraising…

  …is not doing to well as of late.

   it has been reported that the Newts former  American Solutions PAC only managed a meager $1,040 during the month of April, which breaks down to an average of only $34.66 per day.

"The $1,040 raised in April was money that trickled in late from one mail piece we sent out at the beginning of the year," Dan Kotman of American Solutions told TPM in an email.

"We haven't spent time fundraising for American Solutions PAC recently, but we fully expect our activity to increase later on as the new election year approaches and we will once again be supporting conservative candidates who support our values -- just like we did in 2010," he said.

  The only problem that this PAC will have is that there are apparently no candidates who support to many of those Gingrich values.

   Newt should save himself some face and just crawl back into the pit that he crawled out of in the first place.

The Republican political world has grown past his kind  of rhetoric and they developed their own rhetoric which will not work to well with Newt. Plus, the GOP  have those Tea Carpet Baggers to contend with and they  do not like Newt  nor do they trust him, which is a positive for them.

   Then there is the fact that the biggest contributor to the PAC is in a world of crap themselves. That would be Sheldon Adelson, chairman of the Las Vegas Sands Corp.

Adelson and his gambling company have been plagued by legal troubles in recent months. The Sands recently disclosed that it is being investigated by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Adelson, who has an estimated net worth of over $23 billion, has personally pumped $7 million over the past five years into Gingrich’s main political advocacy organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future. His contributions account for more than 10 percent of all the organization's funds and have helped the former speaker promote his conservative causes and stay in the public eye.     ...More

  After him pissing off the Republican leadership with his “ Meet the Press “ interview on Sunday, it is a safe bet that Newt’s aspirations are D.O.A.!
