Pop-up politics

Though its amateurish "authentic" quality probably really is authentic, this Joe Biden video is an impressive piece of editing. The reason the word "live" keeps half-appearing is that the footage has been reframed and moved around on top of a black background.

It's fun to see Biden's sober assessments of the Iraq war and other issues highlighted with little graphics like on VH-1's Pop-Up Video. And you have to admit, as suave as the guy is, he could use a little multimedia bling at this point in the race. But will anyone vote for him just because they liked the jump cuts?
