Do you retain your senate position after losing the presidential bid?

Well the Senate bid is held at the same time as the presidential bid.
If a presidential candidate runs only as a presidential candidate (which is almost always the case) and doesn't re-run as a senator/representative, then they obviously retain their position, their spot goes to whomever else runs for senator/representative.
If they run for senator/representative WHILE running for president, and they win both, then they obviously have to give up their position as senator/representative, and it goes to whoever got the next highest vote. BUT I'm not certain its allowed because Obama didn't run as an Il senator this year, so either he's really certain of his presidential ticket, or.... I'm not certain.. and the same goes for McCain i believe? he also didn't run again? not certain I didn't keep up with politics this year, just voted for my party regardless of the candidate.
