I meant to rephrase that. The term is primary election and is not a federal general election. I understand the 90 day limit to be for general elections. General elections are covered in the constitution.

Commerce Secretary John Bryson accused in hit-and-run crashes H/T FBHO June 11, 2012 \| 12:25 am latimesblogs.latimes.com Authorities are investigating a series of traffic collisions in the San Gabriel Valley involving U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson, authorities said Saturday. Bryson was found unconscious in his vehicle and has been hospitalized, officials said. Bryson was driving a Lexus in the 400 block of South San Gabriel Boulevard shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, when he allegedly rear-ended a Buick as it was waiting for a train to pass, according to a statement released by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and the San Gabriel Police Department. After briefly stopping to talk to the three men inside the Buick, Bryson left the location in the Lexus and then struck the Buick a second time, authorities said. The men followed Bryson's car and called 911 to ask for police assistance. Bryson continued to drive his Lexus into Rosemead, which is patrolled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. There, he allegedly crashed into a second vehicle near the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and Hellman Avenue. There authorities found him alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his car. Bryson was treated at the scene by Los Angeles County firefighters. Authorities said drugs or alcohol do not appear to have played a role in the crash. They said Bryson was cooperative. He was cited for felony hit and run but was not booked into jail because he had been admitted to the hospital. His condition was not known. According to his official biography, Bryson was chairman of Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison for 18 years until 2008. "Throughout a distinguished career in which he's led nonprofits, government agencies and large companies, he's been a fierce proponent of alternative energy," President Obama said in announcing Bryson's nomination last year. "As CEO, he created a competitive power subsidiary, the Mission Group, which expanded across the U.S. and was a global leader in the privatization of power plants and electric systems in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the Philippines and several European countries," according to the biography. "Bryson has also served as a director on several public, educational and nonprofit boards, including The Boeing Company and The Walt Disney Company. He has also served as an adviser and a director of entrepreneurial and start-up companies including Coda Automotive, Inc. and BrightSource Energy. He was a senior adviser to the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR)." Earlier in his career, Bryson was an environmental lawyer and co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He could not immediately be reached for comment.

Wanna talk about something worse than Bain? Make sure to read all 8 pages of filth about your HERO. Obama’s early Chicago rise brought African-Americans foreclosures, bankruptcies While he made personal gains, his lead African-American client, Selma Buycks-Roberson, declared bankruptcy in 2001 — and again in 2008 as she received a home foreclosure notice, according to unpublicized federal and city records obtained by The Daily Caller.

Cher: Eww, check out all the white people behind Mitt Romney Posted at 7:43 am on June 11, 2012 by Twitchy Staff \| View Comments Cher ? @cher [iframe class="twt-follow-button" allowtransparency="true" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=cher&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false&lang=en" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"][/iframe] When mitt gives stump speech Look Behind Him!White People! Where R people of color & ethnicity?Gay men&women Theres no rm 4difference in gop 11 Jun 12 Reply Retweet Favorite So, Cher, would you say a Romney event looks a little something like this? That photo was taken at the Obama 2012 campaign headquarters in Chicago. Funny, Cher didn’t weigh in on the unbearable whiteness of being Obama’s reelection team. Cher sees white people … but only when they’re standing behind Mitt Romney, renowned puppet of the “ Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Baggers.” Obama, of course, can do no wrong. Cher has been gushing on Twitter since she met him in California last week.

If the men aren’t sashaying flamboyantly while lisping the words to show tunes, they must be heterosexist breeders, right? Or does her diversity cop uniform come with with a gaydar gun?
