Following Mitt Romney‘s decisive victory in New Hampshire, Fox News political contributor Bill Kristol poured cold water on the Republican hopeful’s win, noting that turnout was remarkably low.

“Look, Romney underperformed among late deciders, people who decided the last week only gave Romney 52% and people who decided before the last week gave him almost 50% and remains a question mark how effective Romney is the more he’s campaigning,” Kristol noted. “But he won and it’s a reasonable victory. 36% is not huge and he will, I think, end up with fewer votes or almost about the exact number of votes he got four years ago and turnout is down! That’s a surprise. Turnout is going to be down this year with no Democratic contest. I think that’s worrisome to Republicans.”

“It really doesn’t seem to me to be a great night for him,” analyst Juan Williams observed, noting that expectations were considerably higher for him.

Watch Kristol’s analysis that Romney’s low-turnout win should send shockwaves to Republicans:

But that doesnt mean they want to vote for a circus clown to run the country.

2. Bill Kristol has the distinction, however, of being consistently wrong.

On everything. I would like to see him break his streak with this, however.

3. Agreed. Because to be occassionally wrong is one thing.......

...to be consistently wrong every single time, well, that takes a professional like Bill Kristol.



- Remember it was he who almost single-handedly gave us the Icebilliy Grifters of Wasilla. And for that the nation can never forgive him.......

5. Voter turnout was low last week in Iowa's caucuses, too.

The rank and file members of the Republican party are depressed.
They have seen the most woeful bunch of misfits from their own party lie to each other about their voting records and argue with each other for almost 6 months now.

Video killed the radio star.

And the internet killed the 30-year reign of error the Republican party had on the American people, and exposed all of the lies they told on the radio and on television and in the magazines and in the newspapers for the last 3 decades.

It's over!

I can text message a friend within 5 seconds and find out if what I just heard was a lie or not.
I can get a text message and find out what the price on tires are at the store located downtown, or where the cheapest gas is on sale in town today.
In real time.

The Republican party never saw it coming.
