The nominee for the Democrat Lieutenant Governor of Illinois has dropped out of the race this evening. Scott Lee Cohen, a millionaire who won last week’s primary has been accused of certain personal issues and tonight at a bar he announced that he was dropping out of the race. Since winning the nomination, several prominent democrats have tried to get Cohen to drop out because they believed his personal issues could spill into other democrat races in 2010. At the bar Cohen said, “I’m someone who made mistakes in my life. And look where I am. If I let you down I’m sorry”.
Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan will now be responsible for picking a replacement to run for lieutenant governor.
