The evidence of how [Rand] Paul has rubbed off on the Kentucky GOP establishment could be summed up in one sign held by a young McConnell supporter: “Come at me bro.”

It’s a nod to MTV’s reality show “Jersey Shore,” in which one character doesn’t want to start a fight but tells another if he initiates the fight, it will get ugly. The very idea of the 70-something incumbent having rabid supporters waving signs touting MTV pop culture is completely absurd, but only in a pre-Rand Paul world.
