Romney plays for the gutter; attacks Hillary over sex

I’ve been out of the country for about a week. So I come back, and start digging through the news. And I come to this ad by Mitt Romney.

Romney is classing this election up by attacking Hillary Clinton over sex with his "internship" line. I want to be clear about something.
We will lose […]

Clinton: Listen to political enemies, not terrorists

(Cross-posted from Redstate)
With Hillary Clinton the seemingly inevitable Democrat presidential nominee, conservatives are going to have to start reminding people just how bad "that woman" is.

Jon Fleischman has some polling data on John Doolittle re-election. They are bad:

In a one-on-one match up, if the election were held today, Democrat Charlie Brown gets 51% of the vote to Congressman Doolittle’s 31%.
Those surveyed were also asked if they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Doolittle.  Respondents came back with 28% favorable […]
