Republicans should be scared.
Not because Obama just delivered a great speech, but because it pretty clearly demonstrated what Obama has been up to for the last month.

Not long after Karl Rove's former deputy, Steve Schmidt, took over McCain's campaign, the Obama team essentially stepped back and handed McCain the initiative.
