By that, I mean how likely would they be to switch support to Huntsman in the case that he spends his personal wealth on attack ads and presents himself as a credible alternative?

I'd never vote for Huntsman in the primary, only in the general if it came down to it.

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

Ironically, they're similarities are why they hate each other, they're both competing for the same voters.

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.

I believe it's more personal, a family feud of sorts as they are related. For example, Romney and Huntsman wanted the Salt Lake Games Organizing Committee chairmanship, Romney got it while Huntsman didn't.

We stick just as well as Mitt Romney sticks with his positions.
