Can they reconcile? What if Romney wins? Ryan's distancing himself will come back to haunt him something fierce.

Those of us who base our conservative/libertarian sentiments on economic grounds already know that too strong a presence by the Religious Right is the kiss of death. If they can't understand that their place in the Big Tent will aways be on the back benches -- then the point that the Democrats will never offer them anything will just have to be re-emphsized later.
But if Obama wins -- so what. He's already demonstrated that he has no sense of economic discipline, and the pressures he's ignored will continue to grow.
So ol' Barry-O will either stoke his captive Lefties into a stronger class-warfare frenzy, or start running the printing press to monetize the deficit -- triggering inflation which will make the Seventies look tame.
Either way, those with a basic knowledge of how markets work can defend themselves -- it's those who have no choice but to life from day to day who will pay the full price, and the Democrats will simply try to sell them more snake oil.
And that's when the real decision as to where this nation (or possibly, though I surely hope not) two nations, are headed, will be played out.
