Rand Paul's victory in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary is nothing short of a disaster for the Republican Party. The guy is a nut case. He recently restated his position that he would have opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, he believes businesses should have the right to engage in racial discrimination, and he thinks that the Americans with Disabilities Act should be abolished. Even right-wing extremist and Rand Paul supporter Jim DeMint had to distance himself from Paul today. He's too radical even for the likes of Jim DeMint!
Paul has since tried to reverse himself on some of these issues, but the Kentucky Senate race should definitely be a fun one to watch. According to a Rasmussen poll that came out today, Paul currently enjoys a 25-point lead over his Democratic opponent. We'll see how long those numbers hold up.
UPDATE: Rand Paul -- a gift that just keeps on giving.
