Well, McCain always hated the Tea Party. Likely because Palin became the poster child for it and she was way more popular than he was at the end of the 2008 election.
McCain would much rather have lost with Joe Lieberman as his VP nominee. (And that raises a question about McCain's sanity even back then. He thought the RNC convention would go along with naming a Dem as his running mate??)
