( If elected, Romney would have to listen to the conservative base - or risk its wrath at reelection time.)

If he wasn’t willing to listen to us to get elected the first time, why in the world would he listen to us as with all the advantages of being the incumbent president (very little likelihood of being challenged in the primary).

I would go so far as to say that there is zero chance of him facing a primary challenger. Romney is nothing more than the GOP's last ditch attempt at crushing conservatives.
