Romney Senate ad: Unless you're a fan of the Reid-Pelosi agenda...

I’m pointing this out because, driving in my car late last week, I heard a pro-Democratic radio ad dramatically intoning that Richard Mourdock is the only Senate candidate Mitt Romney has helped along like this, which must mean that Romney is one of those conservative extremists who just hates women or something — but that definitely isn’t the case anymore.
