Las Vegas casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson upped his ante in former House Speaker Newt Gingrichโ€™s unregulated issues-advocacy group in August, with a $750,000 donation that helped propel the organization to the No. 2 fundraising spot among so-called 527 political groups this election season.

Amid new signs that its signature โ€œDrill Here, Drill Now, Pay Lessโ€ campaign was reaping success on Capitol Hill, American Solutions for Winning the Future reported a total of $1.9 million in contributions for August, its second-best fundraisingย month.

(Its best was a $2.1 million showing in June, when the group rolled out its campaign to end the 27-year-old U.S. moratorium on offshore drilling, and Republican presidential candidate John McCain took up theย cause.)
