Dem. lieutenant governor candidate exits Ill. race
AP – Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor Scott Lee Cohen speaks during an interview WTTW television … By KAREN HAWKINS, Associated Press Writer Karen Hawkins, Associated Press Writer – Sun Feb 7, 10:39 pm ET
CHICAGO – The Democratic nominee for Illinois' lieutenant governor dropped out of the race Sunday night, less than a week after winning the nomination, amid a political uproar about his past.
Announcing his decision at a Chicago bar packed with patrons watching the Super Bowl, a tearful Scott Lee Cohen said the Democrats were not certain they could win with him on the ticket. He said he was stepping down because he did not want to jeopardize the Democratic Party ticket.
"This is the hardest thing that I ever had to do in my life," he said before choking up with sobs.

Ahhh the tediousness of the vetting process!
"The revelations about Cohen's past came as Illinois was starting to move on from the scandals of ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich."

Yeah, I know. It's ridiculous. Apparently he dropped about $2 million of his own money into his primary campaign and with 6 candidates was able to win it.
