The real problem for Obama is that McCain has taken their campaign back to the SENATE.

Both are Senators. The only difference is that Obama had about 143 days of experience before he departed on his magical mystery tour to the presidency. He has no idea how the Senate works, and he personally is not a powerful presence in any aspect of the Senate.

McCain, on the other hand, knows the ropes as few do.

The dems put Obama front and center because they are afraid his lack of influence in the Senate will be exposed. The longer this goes on, the more likely it will be revealed that Emperor Obama has no clothes.
