I don’t see the big problem here. It’s an Illinois Democrat candidate. He is a pawn broker, he owns a cleaning supply company, he’s used steroids, he abuses his wife, and held a knife to the neck of the girlfriend. Oh, and the girlfriend was also charged with prostitution. For a Democrat these are not reasons to drop out of a race; these things are a resume enhancement.

Scott Lee Cohen, the candidate announced his decision Sunday night at a Chicago bar. Now that’s a classy candidate.

Vote for me, and I won't slap you around.
