#2 Oh, come ON! How is this shocking? From the same state where the governor tried to sell Obama's Senate seat? Which resulted in the chain of events that culminated in this election?

#4 Cohen told anyone who would listen about his arrest and messy divorce. At least one columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times, house organ for the Democratic Party, skated around it FOUR TIMES since March 2009 as did the rest of the Chicago media. Why? Because they are: a) LAZY b)pick the Democrat side in any election or on any issue.
Cohen won his election, his opponents did not bring this issue up during the campaign. Quinns, and the medias immediate reacton was to dump the results of a free election and default to banana republic dictatorship tactics. Cohen isn't the problem, the Chicago Media and the Governor candidate is the problem.

#6 An aggressive, ambitious reporter could have a heckuva lotta fun in Chicago providing, of course, that his editors don't muzzle him...or the bosses don't have him whacked.

#7 Ebbang Uluque, there are always 'accidents' (or 'potholes' to be 'filled') on the Dan Ryan Expressway.

#8 The word here is that the machine is #*&^%%-ed simply because this guy comes pre-smeared. Nobody's got nothing on him.

The GOP, of course, is thrilled, but need to watch out for the Kirk-Giannoulias race - plenty of mud will be thrown there.
