Take it from Snee: Women are mysterious

According to a Public Policy Polling survey released yesterday, if the primary were to take place today, Stephen Colbert would beat out John “the” Huntsman, with a 5% over the latter’s 4%. And yes, that’s a real survey of over 1,000 Republicans likely to vote.

Huntsman: You’re on notice.
