The Fun Corner

Oddities and videos from around the web:

• Remember the old Wasssup Budweiser ad? New version this year. Wassup? Change. True.
• Singalong: "If We Vote to have McCain," to "If I only had a Brain."
• For the College set: a Barackapella concert from last February.
• For the kiddies... "The Vet who did not Vet."

• Faces to watch out for: Fifth grader Damon Weaver reports on Joe Biden's stop in Palm Beach. Added bonus: Biden actually explains what the VP REALLY does.
• Depress me, why don't you: Obama's new website that allows you to track the various robocall and leaflet attacks that are going on around the country. I guess those attacks are what the McCain camp would call "grassroots"?
• Obama's online programming is just really mindbogglingly fun. Here's his tax cut calculator. You put in your income info and it calculates what your estimated tax cut would be under his plan.

Joe Biden is leading HANDILY in his reelection campaign for Senate this year, but what happen if he becomes VP instead? From the Congressional Quarterly, an article about what will happen to those Senate seats. "No matter who wins the White House, somebody's leaving the Senate. Should the Democratic ticket win, Illinois and Delaware are in for replacement senators. If the Republicans win, Arizona gets a new senator and Alaska gets a new governor. Either way, for a short, intense period, single-state politics will be in the national spotlight as fill-ins are chosen to serve in the Senate until the 2010 election. Arizona and Illinois allow substitute senators to stay in place until the unexpired term is done, which would be 2010 in the case of McCain and Obama. In Delaware, where vice presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr. is up for reelection this year, the replacement would stay until the next election, which is in 2010."Politico's Crypt blog notes that Jesse Jackson Jr is rumored to be in the running to replace Obama's seat.
