sheldon is very committed to newt gingrich. newt's viability is dependent upon sheldon adelson. >> with the $10 million, that's a great sign that someone has your back. to already have these conversations with mitt romney on the same day or close to the day, you've got newt gingrich have this post-news conference in nevada vowing to stay in and saying it's a fantasy of mitt romney's team that he would drop out. >> one thing that a lot of people are not aware of, the romney expected was not thrilled that this one person was helping gingrich so much. there was a kind of quite pressure to help him back off. if he's nominee, he'll have tons of support. >> there's no indication he will bail on newt gingrich early even if newt stays in the race? >> that's the most important question for gingrich right now. there's no indication, there's a lot of tea leave reading. i thought it was interesting what was being telegraphed to us that mr. adelson is not thrilled that more wealthy individuals haven't gotten behind the super pacs. i find it

and it was not that big a deal for sheldon.sn't this get to the point that gingrich can kind of coast. if it's not costing you that much money to run a campaign and you is have the luxury of the super pac whampt is -- what is the reason for gingrich to drop out? you the facade of it being there and so you just keep going. >> and he proved that he can live off the land. at the end of the day, it will be cockroach's share and newt gingrich. >> he can, but he has bulked up a bit. if he wins georgia on super tuesday, that is 76 delegates and that will put him in a position, the one thing we learned about this race is that what we think will happen has been the opposite. and with this going to june, california and new york will play big roles in ways that, at least new york has in the past, this is going for a long time and for gingrich, he does not have to go anywhere in the short-term if he does not want to on the campaign side he is having trouble raising money. >> gingrich is 1.4% winning the election against obama. >> coming up
