Democrat Hillary Clinton released a trio of 30-second advertisements over the past two days, as the presidential ad wars continue to heighten in advance of Super Tuesday on Feb. 5. The subjects of Clinton’s ads: economic relief for the middle class and energy independence.
And here are the latest ads from Democrat John Edwards, Republican Mitt Romney.

If you ask College Democrats of America, the answer to that question is President Bush and congressional Republicans. Never mind that tuition rates are set by state governments and Democrats now control Congress; it’s all the GOP’s fault for cutting student aid, according to the group’s new “Reverse The Raid On Student Aid” campaign.

The online activist group MoveOn.org wants Americans to be scared of a country run by another Republican president has produced a video that calls attention to what MoveOn sees as the outrageous positions of the current leading candidates, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
Talking metaphorically about the U.S. military presence in Iraq, McCain says Americans don’t care whether it lasts up to 10,000 years. The clip cuts away mid-thought to highlight that statement. Romney is featured defending the military base in Guantanamo, Cuba, that houses terrorism suspects and says it should be doubled. And Huckabee calls for amending the Constitution to fit “God’s standards.”
The video closes with a warning that “We can’t let them win” and an appeal for donations to MoveOn.

If you want the truth about John McCain, just ask Mike Huckabee.
That’s the message of an advertisement that McCain’s presidential team posted online today. It features Huckabee singing the praises of his top rival for the Republican nomination in tomorrow’s South Carolina primary. Here’s one Huckabee quote about McCain: “John McCain’s a hero in this country; he’s a hero to me.”
The ad is brilliant strategy, and the timing is perfect.
Here are two other recent online candidate ads, one by McCain and one by Rudy Giuliani, another of his GOP rivals:

The candidate advertisements are coming almost daily now that the nation is in the thick of the presidential primary season. This is the first roundup installment of the latest ads. I’ll be posting them as warranted under the headline above, without any commentary from me.
Plenty of other Web sites offer analysis of the ads. I’ll just post them so AirCongress readers can see what the candidates have to say in their own words.
