It seems like former governor Jon Huntsman would have had an even better chance.

- cookiecaper 10y agoHuntsman torpedoed himself super early in the 2012 cycle by acting ashamed of his Mormon background on national TV. This alienated his base Mormon/Utah constituency, which would've been instrumental in propelling him to major primary candidate status, and made everyone else think he was a traitor. Really sad, because 2 major Mormon candidates in the primary would've required Mormons to pay some consideration to the policies instead of just voting for the candidate that was most like themselves.
