The Democratic ticket endorsed two Senate candidates in separate TV ads. Obama makes his first TV ad for a Senate candidate, Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley, who is making a strong challenge to incumbent Republican Gordon Smith. Vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden made an ad for Delaware Senate candidate...incumbent Joe Biden. The biographical ad doesn't specify which office it is for, but Biden will be on the ballot in Delaware as candidate for Vice President and for U.S. Senate. If he wins both races, he can resign from the Senate. The successor would be chosen by the state's Democratic Governor Ruth Ann Minner.
