Telegram: You’re going to join U.S. Sen. Susan Collins for a state party fundraiser today. She’s defended National Security Agency spying programs you oppose, and she’s also running against a Democrat, Shenna Bellows, who comes pretty close to sharing your views on that and other privacy issues. Do you support her, despite disagreement on many of those issues?
Rand Paul: I wholeheartedly endorse Senator Collins for re-election. I think she’s doing a great job for Maine and for the country. ... I don’t really know, exactly, what her position is on the NSA; you’d have to ask her about that.
I just know my position, but I think we’re a big political party. There’s room for not-entire agreement on every issue.

Johnson won the GOP nomination for KY Secretary of State the following year in 2011.
I certainly think he could have beaten Greyson in a 1-on-1 matchup for the U.S. Senate, but he wasn’t a “celebrity” like Rand so Rand Paul’s overhyped announcement and 24/7 “LIBERTY CANDIDATE!!” internet buzz from the Paulbots sucked all the air out of the room, and Johnson dropped out of the Senate race shortly afterwards (his name remained on the ballot).
Unity: Rand Paul endorses Mitch McConnell

That boy is really not learning to shut up with one is behind….
Sen. Rand...this, sir, is one reason you have not yet won my vote. For every check in the Vote Paul Column, you then do something stupid to put 4 checks in the Never Consider column. {Please, just stop talking. Each time you open your mouth is just another sound bite to show how foolish you actually are.
Collins effectively has no primary opposition (only a write in) and is a prohibitive favorite in November, so this is pretty meaningless.
I would guess he’s kissing butt in preparation for his POTUS run. Collins will endorse Chrispy Creme or Jeb anyway.
