Didn't a follower of Lyndon LaRouche end up sinking a ticket a few years back by winning the Lieutenant Governors primary? This Cohen character looks like a similar situation:
Scott Lee Cohen -- a pawnbroker who shocked state Democratic leaders Tuesday night by winning the party's nomination for lieutenant governor -- was arrested about four-and-a-half years ago and accused of holding a knife to a former live-in girlfriend's neck, newly obtained court records show.
The misdemeanor charge against Cohen was dropped weeks later when the woman -- who had just been found guilty of prostitution -- failed to show up to testify, according to those records.
We'll be the first to admit that a misdemeanor domestic charge with a convicted working girl isn't that big a deal in any other instance. But politics? Who is doing background checks on these candidates? Should this guy have been anywhere near a ballot?
