Huntsman is a fairly moderate guy. Too moderate for enough votes from the Mormons. Pictures like this will make it even harder for Huntsman.

The Pew Research Poll that came out today showed that only 50% of Mormons polled had a favorable view of Hunstman while 86% had a favorable view of Romney. No data on the hotness of Huntsman daughters.
They look fairly conservative to me. Judging by numerous standards, my sister's daughters are molly Mormons and they dress about like this.

On the other hand, Huntsman - who officially launched his presidential campaign Tuesday - has publicly distanced himself from his Mormon faith.
“I can’t say I’m overly religious,” he told Fortune magazine last year, when he was still ambassador. “I get satisfaction from many different types of religions and philosophies.”
It’s not the only move that serious Mormons would consider slightly unorthodox. Salt Lake Tribune Washington correspondent Thomas Burr notes that one of Huntsman’s daughters was married in an Episcopal church.
And a Huntsman spokesman, Tim Miller, says the Huntsmans are raising their adopted Indian daughter “to learn about and appreciate her native culture and the faiths associated with it.”
“Jon Huntsman's Mormon roots run deep,” said Burr, who has covered Huntsman since his days as Utah’s governor in the mid-2000s. “Personally, Huntsman says he considers himself a Mormon, but he's also stressed that he gets inspiration from many faiths.”
It’s a contrast to the way the other Mormon candidate in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, has talked about his religious faith.
"Romney has not been shy about his love for his faith and gave a big speech in his 2008 campaign about it,” Burr said. “Those who know Huntsman and Romney would say that Romney is very active in his church, while Huntsman hasn't been as active."
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

On the subject of Dress Standards
Do not use a special occasion as an excuse to be immodest. When you dress immodestly, you send a message that is contrary to your identity as a...daughter of God. You also send the message that you are using your body to get attention and approval...Immodest clothing is any clothing that is tight, sheer, or revealing in any other manner. Young women should avoid short shorts and short skirts, shirts that do not cover the stomach, and clothing that does not cover the shoulders or is low-cut in the front or the back.
Romney's daughters are not following the standards that their Religion requires of them. If he can't manage his kids, what chance America's economy?

The "kids" in question are ages 24-27. I think they can make their own decisions about whether or not they need to hide their shoulders and clavicles from the fearsome gaze of men.
