Ads Galore
Mitt Romney hit John McCain earlier today in an ad running in N.H. It's Mike Huckabee's turn as target in a new Romney ad called "Ready" ... To run in Iowa, of course. Mitt's hits against Huck -- in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, pardons and commutations, and foreign policy.
And McCain smacks back in N.H. with "Consider" ... Script for the 30-second spot:
ANNCR: As you hear Mitt Romney attack John McCain, consider these words from New Hampshire newspapers. ... The Union Leader says John McCain has "conviction" and "Granite Staters want a candidate who will look them in the eye and tell them the truth." "John McCain has done that." "Mitt Romney has not." The Concord Monitor writes, "If a candidate is a phony ... we'll know it." "Mitt Romney is such a candidate." That's why Romney's hometown newspaper says the "choice is clear:" John McCain.
Fred Thompson's new Iowa ad is called "Substance" ... Stresses his National Right to Life endorsement and other "conservative" credentials:
Announcer: The Wall Street Journal says Fred Thompson's tax cut plan "leads the GOP field." A leading economic group calls it a plan "conservatives can rally around." The conservative National Review says only Thompson has outlined "specific, conservative policies" on immigration. Investor's Daily says Thompson's national security plan features a "Reaganesque rebuilding of our military." And the National Right to Life Committee endorsed him because they know he can win. Fred Thompson. The clear conservative choice
Barack Obama has two new ads up in Iowa. Called "Interest" and "Listening" ...
New Hillary Clinton spot in Iowa, called, well, "President" ... Focuses on nation's housing crisis. Not the warmest spot. All business.
