Speaking at the convention?

Good point that the Republicans somehow need to appear they accept Paul's ideas to win in November.

Benton suggested that how Paul is treated by the party at the convention and beyond may dictate what becomes of the Texas congressman’s supporters in November. “If they reach out and are accepting, a lot of people are going to stay with the Republicans. If they shun us, a lot of people will stay home, walk away or go third party,” Benton said.

Real ID

This is a prediction for what the Real ID will be. Simply put all state's drivers licenses will have the same basic layout and they will all contain a digital copy of your fingerprint. Fingerprint scanners will become required and posted everywhere, federal buildings at first then expanding to schools etc. You will simply need your ID in your wallet and put your thumb on a scanner just to get into the post office, etc.
It may sound a little far fetched but it's already here for all federal employees and contrators: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=18190
