Republicans are gathered on Mackinac Island for a Republican leadership conference this weekend. Last night attendees gathered at Horn's Bar and at some point later in the night, a fight broke out. From John Patrick Yob, Rand Paul's national political director and chief Michigan strategist:

Brandon Hall, a conservative blogger from Grand Haven, said Friday he witnessed Yob being punched at Horn’s Gaslight Bar, a popular Mackinac Island watering hole.

“As I was sitting at the bar talking to someone at Horn’s in Mackinac Island Thursday night, I witnessed (the man) suddenly, out of nowhere, approach one of Rand Paul’s advisers, John Yob — unprovoked — and try to hit him,” Hall wrote on his West Michigan Politics blog. “(He) missed a full on shot but still struck Yob’s in the face with a powerful blow near the jaw.”

Hall said the Rubio campaign official was at the bar trying to drum up votes for the Florida senator in the presidential straw poll The Detroit News and MIRSnews.com are conducting this weekend at the conference.

8. Marco Rubio's national campaign manager (Rich Beeson) punched the face of

Rand Paul's national political director and chief Michigan strategist (John Patrick Yob ). No sympathy here. Most likely Yob was spouting Rand Paul garbage and Beeson couldn't help himself.
