McCain threw the election for reasons which remain to be seen.

If he threw it, its not obvious to me that he did it.

1). Sarah Palin

2). "Rushing back to D.C." For the bailout, then voting for it.

3). Vicious negative campaigning; he knows better.

4). Failure to move to the center to woo moderate voters, and reassure them on abortion rights and other single-vote social issues.

5). Grossly inadequate efforts at saying "I'm no Bush!"

McCain is Presidential caliber. He knows these things. Therefore he took a fall or was made to take one.

This would require that the GOP have a cunning plan to self-destruct.

More likely is McCain is old, never had control of his own campaign, made some terrible decisions, and lost focus early and often. Compare that to the well-disciplined Obama camp, and you get what we saw on Nov. 4th.

Interesting thought, could be possible. Older people do have a strong tendency to get tired faster and lose focus, especially if they have poor nutrition and diet and overwork themselves.
