The well-known catchphrase "Whassup" helped sell countless cases of Budweiser. Can it help sell a presidential candidate?
The characters that starred in the hit Budweiser ad campaign, which debuted in 1999, are back on video again, but this time they aren't peddling beer. Instead, the characters are hawking Barack Obama.

Traffic at Anheuser-Busch's online TV network cratered in March following an already underwhelming debut in February.

IF Anheuser-Busch has its way, it may not be long before consumers start insisting ''I want my BTV.'' That's ''BTV'' as in Bud TV, an online entertainment network that Anheuser-Busch, the nation's biggest brewer, is preparing to introduce the day after Super Bowl XLI is played in early February.
