If I may play Devil's advocate, a Rand Paul loss might spur the movement to a new level of activism and intensity, especially if the election result provocatively appears to be the result of voter fraud. A Rand landslide by contrast might give us a false sense of security, setting us up for being blindsided by the establishment throughout 2011-12 primary season. Remember all the advanced techniques employed in the caucus states in '08 to deprive Paul of a win in a single state? Get ready for the rerun. And yes, Rand's disagreements with Ron (especially if crystallized in an actual non-libertarian voting record) will be exploited by the statists to drive a big wedge into the movement.
The real setbacks to a Ron Paul run in 2012 would be when the neocon/Rockefeller set in the Republican party walk out of the GOP convention (ala what happened to Goldwater in '64), and/or run a Bloomberg, Palin or Romney as an independent in order to split the vote enough to ensure Paul loses. Couple that with cointellpro efforts to divide the movement again from within (e.g., the constant demeaning of half the liberty movement for raising the issue of false flags), and that is a prescription for another defeat in 2012.

I hope there is no vote fraud too. But remember Rand's primary opponent did not recuse himself, and is not recusing himself now, and is in position to count the votes (his way?). Remember that Hayworth was neck and neck with McCain in Arizona by most polls, then lost the primary by a 2 to 1 margin. Just saying.

I agree with the OP a Rand loss will crush the 2012 chances of Ron Paul. Because the liberal left will cheer as there campaign of misinformation worked to bring down Rand. It means the general public still buys the lies of media propaganda.
In fact I hope all the outsiders win the their races that way the American populace will have given the finger to the media, telling them you don`t control us.

Please folks, lets all try and help Rand win Kentucky any way we can!
I will be sooo sad if he doesn't win. Ron could never win then as the msm would slaughter him and the idiots would believe it.
Totally agree now. Great points.
