If the Republicans take Congress and Romney wins, the conservatives will oppose any liberal policies coming from Romney.
If the Republicans take Congress and Obama wins, the conservatives and the Republicans will oppose any liberal policies coming from Obama.
It’s quite the quandary.

Not quite apples and oranges. The latter ignores the whole Executive Order issue, which Obama has demonstrated his willingness to use without limits. It also ignores the regulatory agency appointments (EPA, DOE, FDA, etc) as well as a, likely, SCOTUS appointment next term.
I, without a doubt, believe that the House and Senate races in this cycle will be of greater consequence than the POTUS. We will need to temper, and to a degree, control the Executive branch through strong majorities of principled members of Congress. We don't have that now, but we darn sure better find a way to make it happen.
