Most Republican voters viewed Romney as a Massachusetts moderate and were initially unsatisfied with his nomination. A majority never supported him in the primary. His staunch conservative opponents just sucked as candidates and were too fractured. So no, they won't necessarily become more libertarian/moderate if/when Romney loses. They'll likely dig in even more.
Do you really think Republican voters will blame themselves and their ideology for their loss? That goes against the #1 rule of conservatives - never accept responsibility for anything and always play the victim and blame everything else. They'll say their candidate wasn't a true conservative like always.
The bigots and lunatics in your party aren't going away for awhile. Deal with it.
