They blamed Conservatives when McCain lost ...don't you remember??? ...and most of us (myself included) held our noses and dutifully voted for him ...mostly because of Gov Palin in my case. They will blame us again when Romney loses.
McCain lost because those vaunted moderates whose asses that McCain and the GOP elites live to kiss voted for Obama.

Seems to me that as mercurial and inconsistent as Gingrich is known to be, he's got some real competition lately in Rush Limbaugh.
Rush is turning out to be that harmless fuzzball he says he is: he cannot bring himself to be consistent in his battle against anti-conservatism when it comes to Romney.
And yes, if God Forbid Romney gets the nomination and loses to Obama, they will most certainly blame us, like they did for McCain's loss four years ago. And like you, I actually voted for McCain because of Palin, so I didn't fall within the purview of the blameable.
However, if God Forbid Romney gets the nomination, my vote will go elsewhere because THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL HAVE LEFT ME. And if, GOD FORBID Romney actually got the White House, they would NEVER accept the blame for all the leftist crap that Romney would certainly bring about, in a context where what few limited government Republicans remained, could fight against. Romney would make conservatism within the GOP impotent; Obama could only make conservatism in the GOP more determined and powerful than ever. It's LOGIC.
Romney must lose. If Rush (as I read here) really did ask, "Why do people hate him so much?" then I can only conclude that Rush has been insincere in every word he's ever written and uttered about conservatism.
GODSPEED NEWT GINGRICH.
