Threats Against Adelson

Newt's financial savior in South Carolina comes in for some strange commentary today. John Sununu:

Does [Adelson] think that people don't remember when you attack them and pay for the attacks in a primary, especially when one ever the parties receiving that attack is a party he likes to go to to finance his expansions? There is no common-sense in this process. You feel sorry for people that aren't that bright.

My new colleague, David Frum:

Newt's path is clear. The question is: why do any GOP donors want to join this path? Answer: I doubt they do. Which is why I suspect that the much ballyhooed $5 million check from Sheldon Adelson to Gingrich's Super-PAC may soon be lost in the mail.

Do they know something we don't?
