Will "Romney" become a noun or verb and what will be the definition?

After the election -- assuming Romney loses -- will his name become a noun or verb and what will be the definition?

Also, after you've given your definition, please use "Romney" in a sentence.

Slang for a total emotional meltdown in front of large audience
that completely shatters a person's reputation and credibility.

"At 4 wins and 6 losses by mid-season, the team's coach finally started putting the benchwarmers into play. Turns out that benchwarming was their only skill; the team never won another game that year. That romney cost the coach his job".

"Trailing in the polls, the candidate's advisors started to push the issue of the sluggish economy rather than tried-and-true social issues, but the romney was received as too obvious -even pathetic- to the average voter".
