Billionaire, mega-donor Sheldon Adelson is loading up Paul Ryan’s briefcase tonight in Las Vegas

Buzzfeed reports “As of Tuesday morning, reporters would not be permitted to cover Ryan’s fundraiser with billionaire mega-donor Sheldon Adelson at The Venetian in Las Vegas tonight. The campaign’s agreement with the press is that events not at private residences are to be open to reporters. The campaign has also kept reporters from events where Romney does not deliver formal remarks. Ryan aides would not comment on the change on the record. Ryan held a fundraiser in Denver on Monday that was closed press because it was at a private home. [...] A Romney aide told reporters that the event in Las Vegas is not a fundraiser but a “finance event,” and therefore closed to reporters. The aide would not say what the distinction is between the two, declining to say whether the campaign is collecting checks at the event.”

Just like Mitt and his tax returns, the billionaires who want to buy Romney the White House prefer their privacy when making political investments.

UPDATE: Romney’s campaign announces it raised $7.4 million online in 3 days after announcing Paul Ryan pick – @thehill http://t.co/uv9ZJqUI (via: thepoliticalfreakshow)
