Christie Wins the Adelson Primary

“There were many candidates at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual spring meeting Saturday at The Venetian. But there was only one real contender,” the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

“If there can be said to be a winner of what the Washington Post dubbed the ‘Adelson primary,’ for Las Vegas Sands Chairman Sheldon Adelson, it was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Apart from almost every other speaker, Christie showed a pragmatic understanding of the real nature of politics — winning comes first — without seeming as if he was ready to sell his soul to move from Trenton to Washington, D.C.”
