Mitt Romney's new ad, "Ready," criticizes rival Mike Huckabee for being "soft on government spending," and granting more than 1,000 pardons and commutations as governor.

Clinton: "President"

Here's the script of Hillary Clinton's new ad, titled "President":

ANNCR: What if we had a different president this year?

ANNCR: Hillary Clinton called for action on America's housing crisis in March… in June… in August.

ANNCR: George Bush and Wall Street did nothing.

ANNCR: Since then home prices have plummeted and millions may lose their homes.

ANNCR: Hillary's plan: freeze home foreclosures, freeze rates on adjustable mortgages, provide real tax relief for the middle class.

ANNCR: When we choose a president next year, let's choose one that would have started fixing our economy this year.

ANNCR: Hillary Clinton: "I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message"

Thompson: "Substance"

Fred Thompson's new ad calls him the "clear conservative choice" and ticks off a list of endorsements and praise for his plans on taxes, immigration and the military.

Here's the ad script:

Fred Thompson: I'm Fred Thompson and I approve this message.

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.
