Such a penalty as paying a fine would require prior contractual agreement, would it not? The only penalty not requiring such would be eviction, AFAICT.

A) The speed limits derive out of the statist notion of “protecting you from yourself”
B) I could probably drive on limit-free roads, since it is not established yet if speed limits are actually conducive to safety
C) I have no choice but to pay the thug
got a three hundred and sixty dollar ticket for speeding today in new hampshire. sure didnt feel like freedom to me.
Where were you? City or country?
Five miles out of Warner
K. Were you at the primary events today? That could have been why the police were worse then they usually are.
Your posts don’t bother me and he won’t win. At the pace he’s going (4% per month increase) he’d need another 3 months to get even close to Romney. Yes, statistics and linear approximations don’t work that way, but it looks bleak right now. Doesn’t mean we should give up, that is. We should fight ever harder. Just saying not to be disappointed when he comes in 2nd, down 20% from Romney.
44% of NH voters are undecided. This could be HUGE for Dr. Paul.
It could also be huge for Huntsman.
We’ll see what the polls are in 24 hours, but I’d be open to the idea that Paul may even come in third. Probably - and hopefully - not, but who knows what could happen on Tuesday.
Why Huntsman?
Please note: I’m somewhat playing Devil’s Advocate here.
A) The speed limits derive out of the statist notion of “protecting you from yourself”
One could argue that driving at a much higher speed relative to other drivers can pose a threat to them. Something of an analogy here could be a person swinging around an axe in a public place.
B) I could probably drive on limit-free roads, since it is not established yet if speed limits are actually conducive to safety
My understanding is that roads are only rated up to a certain speed. Beyond that speed, there’s increased risk of losing control of one’s vehicle and possible colliding with other vehicles. Of course, speed limits on government roads are typically kept lower than this rating, so the local/state government in question can extract more revenue in the form of speeding tickets.
C) I have no choice but to pay the thug
You can (i.e. you are physically able to) refuse to pay him. However, that would likely lead to your driver’s license being suspending (if it’s a New Hampshire driver’s license) and/or a warrant put out for your arrest.
44% undecided voters means that they could all go with Romney because they decide he is the “most electable.” He’s the “safest” candidate. Unless Romney gets slammed hard or some new scandal comes out where some lady accuses him of cheating, he’ll win by a comfortable margin. My current prediction is he will win by 15%

So is Romney reaching out to undecideds the way Dr. Paul is? Dr. Paul has 17% of the NH vote last time I checked. Romney’s numbers are going down. Huntsman is doing better but he’s still behind Dr. Paul.
I know how you feel, like the first person who replied to you, I thought Ron Paul would do much better in 2008 due to the landline theory. I’ve found, however, polls, especially when they are aggregated like at Real Clear Politics, are usually very accurate. Real Clear Politics has only LV - likely votes, not registered voters, listed on their polls right now, and the latest poll shows Mitt ahead by 13. I would be surprised, however, if RP didn’t come in at at least 2nd place.

He doesn’t need to. They know he’s the “safe”, moderate candidate.
Romney’s numbers are going down
Yes, and at this rate he will be low enough for Paul to maybe have a chance in a month.
Devil’s advocate here: Hunts KetchupMan could very well narrowly edge out RP. I am naturally cynical about this sort of thing. Never discount the idiot vote who are surgically glued to their televisions.
BUT
Paul will still gain solid delegates to stay on top so the straw poll pop vote is irrelevant.
Nope, Hunstman stands no chance. He’s been at it for weeks and he hasn’t gained much.
CNN is whoring the hell out of him though.
Desperate. SMH
The MSM will never let Dr. Paul have his day. Ever.
