i think the show bachman is a good speaker and interesting candidates. we're doing a profile for her for this week's "weekly standard." i spend an hour with her on thursday where she said different things interesting things in our i interviewed her. i can cruncher to the narrative that all republicans are isolationists who want to get out of afghanistan is just off the case, especially in the case of michelle bachman. i think that will be an interesting piece. she is a canada might take off and will make the whole race very interesting. host: this summer reading is the cover story for this week's cover. caller: i wonder why -- i am republican but i am wondering why or when it being a mormon has become mainstream religion? i am wondering how the gop will deal with the fact that this is not what i consider mainstream religion, and i think most presidents their religious background and what they have done that means something to a lot of americans. what are your thoughts on that? guest: harry reid is a mormon. mitt romney governs the state of massachusetts

i'm going on the record early on this is bachman.hen i look at romney, i know the washington insiders want romney to be their candidate, but the last time i checked, the tea party had a lot to say about who was the candidates and the washington insider establishment did not. i think right now bachman's folks are trying to push palin off the stage. >> i don't want to disagree with you but viewers have got to know you work for president obama. president obama would love to have michele bachmann has his opponent. >> i don't work for anybody. i do work for "the daily beast." but michele bachmann is an electrifying candidate. all you have to do is be in a crowd that she is talking to and there is like its drops of electricity everywhere she goes. that is exciting from the grassroots activists and completely missing from the field. she's the real deal. she's not great on history, but she is great on the stage. >> history, facts, logic, economic policy. >> she's good at math. >> very quickly, 30 seconds left. should the president be worried
