Democrats are growing increasingly frustrated with the brash political attacks Sen. John McCain has launched against Barack Obama in the weeks since the new president took office. No one expected the Arizona Republican to be a legislative ally for this administration. But it was widely assumed that Obama's overtures to McCain in the weeks after the election would dull some of the hard feelings between the two. Now, they are realizing, it has not. "He is bitter and really angry," Bob Shrum said of McCain in an interview on Friday. "He is angry at the press, which he thinks is unfair. He is angry at Obama and angry at the voters. He has gone from being an angry old candidate to being an angry old defeated candidate."

I believe the phrase you're searching for is "poor loser."

McCain didn't want to be the Republican candidate, I don't think. All his posturing with Lieberman speaks of an Independant run- but only after he lost in the Republican primaries and then carried those who voted for him to the new right independant party.
Unfortunately for him, he didn't lose, and his bluff was called. No one could have predicted the Kavalcade of Korncole Klownz that showed up to the Republican primaries, and McCain got bitten by being the bait. I'm surprised that no one else sees it this way (out loud), but it explains some of the Republicans anger at McCain during a goodly portion of 2008.
