ROMNEY IS BEATING HUNTSMAN IN UTAH

... divide among Utah Republicans over the two candidates who also have shared backgrounds: both are Mormons, businessmen and former governors. In interviews, Utah Republicans regularly refer to them interchangeably as “favorite sons.” 

... Yet it’s Romney, who grew up in Michigan and was governor of Massachusetts, who has the edge over Huntsman, who spent much of his life in Utah. 

Romney is leading in polls, has more local endorsements, and raised more money in the state than Huntsman. 

Romney reported $1.9 million in contributions from Utah residents through Sept. 30, the most recent figures available — about seven times as much as Huntsman, who took in $255,850, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington- based research group. 

"It puts a lot of us in a precarious position," said U.S. House Representative Jason Chaffetz, who ran Huntsman’s first campaign for governor in 2004 and served as his chief of staff. 

"It’s not that I’m anti-Huntsman, but I am very pro-Mitt Romney," added Chaffetz, who has campaigned with Romney in New Hampshire. 

HMMM...

ROMNEY LEADS IN THE POLLS IN UTAH - WHERE THEY KNOW HUNTSMAN BEST.

AN HE'S OUT-FUNDRAISING HUNTSMAN AND HAS MORE ENDORSEMENTS.

IMHO: HUNTSMAN IS A FRAUD. A MANDARIN-SPEAKING PHONY.

FOLKS WHO VOTE HUNTSMAN ARE DUPES.
