Who is Sheldon Adelson? Does it matter that we know?

He's the billionaire casino/hotel magnate that has pumped $5 million into the pro-Newt Gingrich Super PAC: Winning our Future. The organization is about a month old.

This appears to be the future of campaigning.

- Why Sheldon Adelson's foreign ties are reason for concern.

- The struggle for Adelson's affections.
