Newt Gingrich may have done okay in the first full Republican presidential primary debate last night, but today in Tablet Magazine, senior writer Allison Hoffman reports from a Republican Jewish Coalition fundraiser Sunday night in Beverly Hills, where all signs pointed to a worrisome future for the former Speaker of the House; and perhaps for his main patron, the fundraiser’s (absent) honoree, super-rich casino magnate Sheldon Adelson; and perhaps, even, for the RJC itself, which may have been led, by Adelson, into backing the wrong horse.
