McCain did not run his campaign that way. The news media just made it look like it.
And Obama did not shift to the center. He was actually solid in his stance of change and hope, even of that struck a lot of us as rhetoric.
But again, it was the economy that hurt McCain more than anything. No matter how much you want to pretend McCain could have done something, he couldn't have. When the incumbent party screws up enough, voters throw that party out, ni matter what the next guy is like. Polls proved it, because they were evening up until it was clear the economy was in the tanker.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
