Odd question about Mitt getting beat in Dixie

[TlalocW]

2. A is easy to answer

Two reasons.

First, it's because he's Mormon. For decades, the religiously insane (predominant in the south and the GOP's base) has been told by their religious leaders - from Falwell on down to the preachers in the smallest backwoods churches that Mormonism is a cult (it is), and Mormons aren't true Christians.

Second, he just hasn't got the personality to connect with Southerners (or most humans for that matter). If he took his opinions and positions as far to the loony right as Santorum and Newt do, he might have been able to overcome his personality problem somewhat, but that's not who he is. He's flipping between trying to be as far right as possible and yet still keep a slight veneer of being a moderate.
