Huntsman, easy.  Economic conservative, social moderate.  I'm just hoping the primary doesn't turn him into a Romney.

Nevada's LDS-ness is constantly exaggerated.

Agree, but it matters because:

a) Mormons tend to be heavily Republican, so ~double their impact on the primary;
b) Nevada is not a state where Mormons will lose on heresy grounds, as they are a familiar group (as opposed to the deep south).  Negative on the disqualification factor.

That said, I'm not sure I agree with the idea that Romney has the NV Mormons; Huntsman should be able to overtake Romney in that demographic.

The poster before me was talking about Romney's chances in Nevada in the General, not the Primary.

Didn't pick that up.  Romney's Mormon faith probably has little effect in the general.
