Rand Paul seeks to remake self, GOP

From today's Courier-Journal:
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s campaign to reinvent himself — and his Republican Party — rolled on this week with his appearance at Howard University, the historically African-American college in Washington, D.C.

But students he spoke to weren’t fooled and the public shouldn’t be either.

...his biggest hurdle was trying to convince the crowd that he is a stalwart supporter of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, despite past comments to the contrary including to The Courier-Journal Editorial Board in 2010.
