I'm sure that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid must like that he is often used to defend ... GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, his fellow Mormon. Consider this from Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne (whose column appears below): "As for Mormons being uniformly right wing, consider the existence of the Mormon Democratic Congressional Caucus, whose members include Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Reps. Jim Matheson of Utah and Tom Udall of New Mexico, and Eni Faleomavaega, the delegate from American Samoa." Mormons can be Democrats, too, the argument seems to be. The dichotomy of a religion that produces politicians as different as Harry Reid and Mitt Romney would seem to help both, but might help neither.
