Democrat Scott Lee Cohen formally ended his strange political odyssey toward the lieutenant governor’s office today.
An attorney representing the Democratic Party of Illinois submitted a signed letter from Cohen to the State Board of Elections, indicating Cohen’s wish to be dropped from the November general election ballot.
Cohen’s move came after disclosures from his divorce case — including allegations that he put a knife to a prostitute’s throat — brought calls from within the Democratic Party for him to step down as Gov. Quinn’s running mate.
It would have been fun as hell and maybe even led to a republican resurgence in Illinois. No one knows what happens next.
Open post in the meantime.
