Harry Reid's Visit To BYU

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid visited BYU yesterday as the weekly forum speaker. It was mostly uneventful. He gave his Searchlight, NV talk, but added a Mormon twist to it. He had a few one-liners that would only be funny to a Mormon crowd. He kept the political part of the speech fairly short and limited it to simple statements on his positions (which everyone knew about in advance anyway). He got some applause when he stated his antiwar position and his pro-life stance. However, the most bizarre moment was when he said that he thought Mormons would eventually vote Democrat in the large numbers that they do now for Republicans. I know that he doesn't smoke, but he must have been smoking something yesterday!! Great shifts in Democrat and Republican positions would have to occur for that to happen.
