What To Do Until the Democrats Force Scott Lee Cohen Off the Ballot for Lieutenant Governor
Until the blood-letting is over, Keely Cat has decided to hide his head and sleep.
Eventually, the Democrats lust for patronage and the other benefits of controlling state government will result in slotting State Comptroller Dan Hynes in Scott Lee Cohen’s place as the running mate for Pat Quinn and the media can concentrate on how “unqualified” the Republican’s Lieutenant Governor candidate Jason Plummer is.
And, if you don’t believe they will, read this paragraph from Friday’s column by the Tribune’s Eric Zorn:
“Democratic and Republican primary voters Tuesday nominated inexperienced, unknown rich guys to be the running mates for their gubernatorial candidates, touching off memories of 1986, when another unknown slipped his way onto a major-party ticket.
This time, lumber company heir Jason Plummer, 27, spent more than $1.3 million in family money to get 34 percent of the GOP primary vote, enough to prevail in a six-candidate field.
“…the outrage was obvious: Neither man is remotely qualified to be one heartbeat or one federal indictment away from becoming governor of Illinois.”
Well, it works in the White House,
1doesn’t it?
Lust for patronage? So you think Cohen is a good candidate?
