Why should this guy have any more of a voice in how America or the world is run than any of us just because he got stupid rich from his casinos in Macau?

I wonder if he thinks his position of "balancing out" other donors makes his potential donation less hypocritical somehow.
Considering that Obama spent almost $1 billion in 2008 and has promised to spend $1 billion in 2012, for Newt to rustle up $100 million is relative peanuts. I think he needs $900 more just to be even with the other side.
+Anton Wahlman did Obama get $100 million from any single donor, though? I seriously doubt it.
