Sen. Reid’s not-so high opinion of Mitt Romney and is fellow Nevada Mormons:

Reid said Romney would “be a tremendous drag” on the ticket everywhere except in Nevada, where he would likely earn significant support from the Mormon community.

“I think that they like his wearing his religion on his sleeve,” Reid, also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said of Nevada Mormons. “Apparently they love his flip-flopping. He was for abortion, he’s against it. He’s for gay marriage, he’s against it. He’s for global warming, he’s against it.”

Huh!?! I seem to recall that the last thing Romney wanted to discuss was his religion but had his hand forced. And Reid’s co-religionist constituents love religious pandering and “flip-flopping”? Maybe they’ll remember that in the 2010 elections.

More: If Romney is picked, I wonder if this will be a new line of attack with Sen. Reid being perfectly situated. Sort of like Sen. Obama attacking Michael Steele in 2006.
