"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ventured into the 2012 presidential waiting game Tuesday, offering up his pick for the Republican presidential nomination. 'If I had a choice, I would favor Huntsman over Romney,' Reid told reporters after a meeting on Capitol Hill."

After all the money Reid has taken from the Huntsman family during the last campaign cycle, this is not a surprise.

"Huntsman’s family gave nearly $25,000 to Reid last cycle"

Sorry, I don't get it. Are you saying that if a person's a Mormon, he's going to like all other Mormons? Nah... you wouldn't be saying something that stupid.

The only thing that I said was "They are both Mormon". You inferred more than I wrote. I was simply stating a fact. Most people do not know that Harry Reid is mormon. I was surprised to find that out myself.

You were simply stating a fact? And of course you weren't implying that the fact that they are both Mormons had something to do with the fact that Harry Reid likes Jon Huntsman? There are lots of Mormons in congress. Some of them probably like Huntsman. Some of them probably like Romney. Some of them probably don't like either one of them. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what you were trying to say.

But thanks for mentioning Harry Reid's religion. If most people didn't know that he's a Mormon, I guess he's doing a pretty good job of not making his religious beliefs interfer with his doing his job. That's probably something a Mormon would probably do if elected President.

I can think of very few more compelling reasons to oppose a candidate than an endorsement from Harry Reid.

Well keep in mind, he's almost certainly going to be voting for Obama. As a matter of fact, unless Huntsman -- by some miraculous fluke -- ends up getting the bid, so will I.

I will go out on the limb and tell you that I believe Huntsman will get the bid. I have not always been right about the general elections, but I am 8 for 8 on the nominations. It won't be a fluke. It will look like a fluke, but it won't be.

Huntsman has some very powerful people and groups behind him and although I don't have a thing against huntsman, I do not like the groups supporting him. So, I am hoping that I am wrong on this one.
