Why do Huntsman and Romney hate each other? Huntsman goes after Romney all the time....you'd think they'd like each other being fellow Mormon ex-governors whose families are connected
Because Huntsman and Romney are both going after the same constituency within the party, namely moderates and non tea partiers. EDIT: Ninja'd
As for the main question, I'd say that Romney's support is on a much firmer footing then, say, Cain's in South Carolina. He's got a favorite son effect, views in line with the state GOP's, and a frontrunner aura of invincibility propping up his poll numbers there. I wouldn't really expect votes to fall to Huntsman unless some big scandal brought Romney down.
