Crazy McCain Theory.

Screw the search function. I don’t think this was posted before but I feel like getting this question out there anyway.

I was talking to a teacher the other day from an Electioneering class I took in the previous semester. (Funny name, eh?). And I met up with him and he blurted out the most awkward thing about McCain and why he’s been making all of these awkward choices:

“I think McCain is trying to lose this election in purpose”

I was like “Teach, you’re crazy”. But he went on to explain himself. Below is his reasoning:

McCain is an old, tired, and grumpy old man. A man who has never competed with an African American for anything and by now he is probably far to indifferent about the election to even care about his own choices or actions. If he wins, he knows that he’s too liberal for the right wingers in congress, and he will be forced to bend to the will of the left just to get any legislation passed. The effort is more than likely not worth it because anything that goes wrong during McCain’s Presidency will ultimately destroy the Republican Party’s base. However, if Obama wins, he can tackle all of these issues and if he acts according to his own rhetoric, Obama will give Republicans something to hate and they can build their base back up again. In Choosing Palin he sets himself up as a reformer, but he wanted to destroy his own strong conservative base at the same time.

Any thoughts? I’m not sure if I agree with what the teacher said, but I thought it was interesting enough to ask if anyone else thinks McCain is trying to lose on purpose.
