I believe that this poem by Hal O'Leary gives a good explanation of why the Republicans will immediately turn to passing around the blame when they lose this election. (Or have they already begun the blaming?)
(Poem brought to my attention by commenter Dale on the Cagle Post.)

Blame
By Hal O'Leary
BLAME
(pantoum)
(pantoum)
To say there's blame enough to go around.
It means of course that no one will be blamed,
And those responsible will not be found.
With guilty parties never being named,
It means of course that no one will be blamed,
And those responsible will not be found.
With guilty parties never being named,
It means of course that no one will be blamed.
The ethics we once counted on are gone.
With guilty parties never being named,
Gone also is the truth we counted on.
The ethics we once counted on are gone.
With guilty parties never being named,
Gone also is the truth we counted on.
The ethics we once counted on are gone.
Deceit is now the key to our success.
Gone also is the truth we counted on,
And with it, loss of trust is limitless.
Deceit is now the key to our success.
Gone also is the truth we counted on,
And with it, loss of trust is limitless.
Deceit is now the key to our success.
It's now 'the thing' for one to lie and cheat,
And with it, loss of trust is limitless.
We've got to recognize it as deceit.
It's now 'the thing' for one to lie and cheat,
And with it, loss of trust is limitless.
We've got to recognize it as deceit.
It's now the thing for one to lie and cheat,
And those responsible will not be found.
We've got to recognize it as deceit,
To say there's blame enough to go around
And those responsible will not be found.
We've got to recognize it as deceit,
To say there's blame enough to go around
