What the Rand Paul victory in KY did was to put an almost sure thing Republican Senate seat in play in November.
The guy he beat in the primary polled much stronger in a general election match-up with the Democrat.
The Republican establish is quaking in their boots with these more extremists candidates winning the primaries.

The other big victory for the Democrats was John Murtha's open House seat in PA.
A blue collar district that went for McCain in 2008 and where Obama's approval rating is much lower than the national average.
The Republicans targeted this one and the Democrat won by 8 points.
