Sheldon Adelson contemplates the remainder of his liquid assets.
OK, remember how we discussed close U.S. Senate races yesterday? It looks like Sheldon Adelson's been paying attention, too. His hobby farm, Freedom's Watch, has cut several spots on behalf of embattled Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), but similarly beleagured Sen. John Sununu (R-N.H.) and Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), who's in a real squeaker, can probably forget about seeing any help from the doge of the Venetian.
Why? Because Adelson's Freedom's Watch is aiming in the direction of ... Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Guess what? Schumer's not even on the ballot this year! But Sheldon's evidently not going to let a trifle like that stand in his way. Nosiree Bob, Freedom's Watch rolled out an anti-Schumer ad on Wednesday -- two years too early to do any good.
More pointless still, it's one of those onanistic spots that urges people to ring up Capitol Hill and reflexively regurgitate boilerplate nonsense ("Call [Creepy Conservative X] and tell him to stop his shady schemes," "Call [Godless Liberal Y] and demand he support our troops" -- ersatz examples, but you've undoubtedly been subjected to umpteen tedious examples of the real thing by now).
Adelson's got a right to tilt at any windmill of his choosing. But his target selection sure can be peculiar.
I can only guess he had a bunch of money saved up in IndyMac. =b
