Cook County Democrats back Giannoulias for Senate

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on Obama side kick Alexi Giannoulias:
Attorney Jacob Meister criticized all three of his opponents, saying he has “no history with organized crime” — an apparent reference to loans Giannoulias’ family’s bank made in years past to shady figures; he was not “a figure in Gov. Blagojevich’s cabinet” — Jackson was Rod Blagojevich’s spokeswoman for two years; and he criticized Hoffman for clerking for conservative Republican judges.
Cook County Democrats haven't been bothered with associating with organized crime.
