The Politico article highlighted that endorsement above all else. Not sure why this Republican feels the need to make his support for Reid clear, but he has.

It's surprising to see the governor's wife and numerous mayors supporting Reid. The major GOP fundraisers are less surprising since they're probably more interested in political influence through the leader of the Senate than actual ideology.
