29. I bet it'll be spent on attacks on Santorum

Adelson has publicly stated he is thinking of switching his support to Romney. But first Santorum needs to be knocked down so Romney can coast to the nomination. Unfortunately for Romney, he has already gotten a lot of blowback for his negative ads. So, Adelson will use Newt to run the negative ads against Santorum, all without getting the teahadists pissed off (at least not more than they already are) at Romney for bashing their favorite candidate.
