Romney's name stays alive as long as there is no viable mainstream GOPer who can appeal to the moderates. But eventually one will show up and he will fade away.
BTW, on the old canard that conservatives didn't show up in 2012, in reality (I know a liberal construct to be sure) they were a larger part of the electorate than any recent election with exit polling data...
% of voters calling selves "Conservative"
1980 28
1984 33
1988 33
1992 30
1996 34
2000 29
2004 34
2008 34
2012 35
The irony is that Romney lost because he pandered to the conservatives so much, he lost his appeal to the moderates.
