The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Gov. Quinn's embattled running mate, Scott Lee Cohen, allegedly abused anabolic steroids, displayed fits of rage and forced himself sexually on his ex-wife before their divorce, court documents reviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times show.
Those explosive allegations about Cohen’s "erratic" behavior come from his ex-wife and are contained in the couple's divorce file in legal documents that were part of an order of protection she sought in 2005.
Cohen had some help from powerful prominent Democrats:
A political newcomer, Cohen shocked Democrats with his primary victory Tuesday against five other candidates, four off them state legislators. Cohen spent $2.5 million of his own money on the low-profile race.
But he also got help from some veteran politicians. Ald. Dick Mell (33rd) and Ald. Roberto Maldonado (26th) urged voters to support him on their web sites.
Dick Mell is one of the top Chicago machine bosses of the Democratic Party . Dick Mell is Rod Blagojevich's father in law. If Dick Mell wasn't bothered by
Blago's past would he worry about supporting Scott Lee Cohen?
