I think it's best that (very) rich folks choose our politicians for us.

Lets hope he's as 'lucky' in 2014 as he was in 2012 ;))

Sheldon Adelson Bets $100 Million on a GOP Senate

Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson could put $100 million of his own cash in this year’s midterms. Can he buy the Senate of his dreams? Peter Stone reports on the sometimes-mercurial 81-year-old tycoon’s quest to buy D.C.

....
Boasting a net worth that was recently pegged by Forbes at $31.6 billion, Adelson is no newcomer to making humongous political wagers:

In the 2012 elections, Adelson donated close to $150 million, much of which went down the drain as Republicans failed to win back the White House or the Senate. 
Of that total spending, some $93 million went to super PACs and committees that must reveal their donors.
