Why rational republicans should be wishing that McCain loses big

I think it its has become now obvious that McCain will be defeated in 9 days and the next president will be Barack. That is good news for the country, the world, and for democracy in general. McCain has degenerated to a defender of people who hate democracy. That is not so surprising anyway, after we learned recently that he had visited the murderous dictator Augusto Pinochet in the past. Obviously McCain liked Pinochet. And that is beyond despicable, as Pinochet was one of the worst dictators and criminals in recent history, having killed over 3,000 Chileans defenders of democracy while in power in the 70s and 80s.

In any case, this election is more about competence than ideology. Anyone who really cares about this country can not vote McCain. That is exactly why McCain will lose. But the question is how big he will lose. I would argue that it is in the interest of republicans that McCain loses very big. Why? Because the republican party needs to eject its theocratic part and become back the old fiscally conservative/socially liberal party that it was in the old days (Nixon and before). The theocratic antidemocratic element of that party represents the very worst in this country. It should be isolated and separated from the republican party. However, only a big loss (>15-20%) will lead to the split of the republican party and an internal civil war that could result in the (r)ejection of its theocratic/antidemocratic element.
