Reid gives Huntsman a thumbs-up over Romney
Politico ^ | June 21, 2011 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 06/21/2011 2:24:19 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Harry Reid, asked to rate his fellow Mormons Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, picks the former Utah governor:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, reviled by conservatives for ushering Democratic legislation through Congress during Obama’s first two years in office, told reporters Tuesday that he’d pick Huntsman over GOP rival and fellow Mormon Mitt Romney.

“If I had a choice, I would favor Huntsman over Romney,” said Reid, who like Romney and Huntsman belongs to the Church of Latter-Day Saints.

The Senate leader proceeded to take a broad swipe at the former Massachusetts governor, whom he described as a “a man who doesn't know who he is.”

...............Still, as First Read notes, this is not a nod Huntsman will want to brag about in a GOP primary.

I heard the Fox pundits saying that Huntsman believes the base will fight over the conservative candidates, dividing their votes, and that will be his in -- he will be the one with the primary win.

Who needs a conservative when we’ve got Willard the RINO and Harry and Obama’s favorite moderate to choose from?

I will not vote for John Huntsman. Not for the nomination nor for the Presidency. If the G.O.P. is THAT dumb, F ‘em. F ‘em right in the ear.

This guy is a plant. Houseplant, garden plant, hanging plant, whatever; he’s another empty suit like Obama.

That is all you need to know about this dangerous Progressive loser. Go away Huntsman. No one wants what you a selling.

If Utah is such a Red state, why did they elect this total piece of garbage?

"My friends, you know a tea-bagger's never gonna win next year's Presidential election. So let's all reach across the aisle and follow the advice of my friend Karl Rove. Huntsman or Romney, get behind either one - I don't care!"

It’s good to see Reid using digits other than the middle one....

Huntsman won’t make it to the gate. People are fed up with ass kissing suck-ups with a Rodney King complex. THEY WANT RED MEAT AND NO PRISONERS. TAKE IT TO BO AND THE DEMONS!! I’d be willing to bet the ranch that whoever has the nads to expose this administration and the Demons will shoot right to the top and it appears the “girls” (Palin and Bachmann) are the only ones that are doing it right now....with Santorum a close second. (Yes Virginia, I realize Palin isn’t running.....yet.....but she’s still outspoken about BO and his minions on interviews). :)

If Reid and the talking heads Rove/Krauthammer/etc like him, then forget him.

Doesn’t Reed (sic) know to get with the program? Both zer0 and alGore have given their blessings to Romney. I half thought Reed (sic) would do just that, perhaps complimenting mitt on his support for ethanol subsidies.
