11. McCain's motive could be a fear of the extreme right being in power!

McCain had always been a moderate Republican until he ran for President at which time he had to pander to the extreme right. What if he is afraid of the extreme legislation and platform of today's republican party and what that would mean for America if Romney were elected? This could be motive enough for McCain to secretly provide the needed evidence to take Romney down, and McCain may be getting close to retirement and doesn't want to have a legacy like George Bush.

I'm just posing a possibility here, I'm not sure if I believe it, but it does seem plausible.
