After voting in Scott Lee Cohen as their favorite LG nominee in the February 2 primary, Illinois Dems' were apparently "shocked and appalled" when they paid attention to the background complaints on their LG winner. After pushing and shoving Cohen to bow out, the Dems picked the late US Senator Paul Simon's daughter Sheila to run with Governor Pat Quinn, who took over when Democratic incumbent Rod Blagojevich was impeached in January 2009.
Now, pretending as if none of that embarrassing scenario took place over the past two months, the Dems plow ahead with their shining new star, picked per the polling results that say Quinn needs a downstate woman to shore up Quinn's weak spots. Simon was on Chicago Tonight this week, and you'll see how obediently she follows the Quinn plan for saving our state budget.
