Hah, I was just about to say that, you took the words right out of my mouth. And as ridiculous as it sounds, it may be true... not that conservative voters wanted to lose, but it seems that the powers-that-be, including the media, pushed McCain on us, to ensure a Dem victory.
In fact, others will call it a kooky conspiracy theory, but what I discussed on this thread is something that an outspoken globalist (Clinton's mentor, Carrol Quigley) wrote about years ago, that one way to achieve their agenda is to take control of both political parties. And when we look at where we're at now, perhaps people should take another look at what the socialist/globalist enemy admitted, because it sure as hell looks like what he said has come to fruition.
It seems very much so. I don't think Obama was the planned recipient of the crown though. The media had all but coronated Hillary long ago, projecting that most Americans share their racist obsessions, that Obama would be rejected, and Hillary's grace and appealing charm would carry the day.
The Clinton loyalty has been enforced through fear for too many years, and I suspect many of those "loyals" found their escape clause in Obama. One taste of freedom, and they aren't likely to get close to the choker chain again.
