(AP Photo/Vincent Yu, File) Sheldon Adelson has injected yet more money into the super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign. The billionaire casino owner donated another "substantial" amount to Winning Our Future, helping it to air new TV ads in seven states starting today, the AP reports. A source says the new contribution is similar to two earlier contributions of $5 million each from Adelson and his family. Adelson recently said he may give up to $100 million in support of Gingrich.
