They’re going nuts alright because they know there’s not a damn thing they can do about this, and he’s got them by the short hairs.
In IL, the Gov and Lt. Gov. have to run separately at the primary. No one thought this guy could win, so no one even did the research - if they had, they’d have learned that he went public with all this way back in early 2009. They just screwed up and now are frantic as to what to do to avoid having this guy kill Pat Quinn’s chances of keeping the Governorship.
After the primary, the Gov. and Lt. Gov. are required by state law to run as a team. So Cohen doesn’t need to campaign or a damn thing. He won by a much bigger margin than idiot Quinn did, so he’s on the ballot for November even if he doesn’t go do one single debate or put up one campaign sign.
Pat Quinn will now be running on the same ticket as Cohen, whether he likes it or not. The D party can write him off and put all their emphasis and money behind Quinn, but if Quinn wins, Cohen wins too. In other words: they’re screwed - until they buy him off.
He spent $2M on his campaign, you just know the D party will find a way to pay his campaign debt and make him go away.
Then what? I don’t know how the Lt. Gov. spot would be filled, but if the Party gets to choose, what happens to the will of the people?
I hope he asks them for his money back...that would be even funnier. These Democrats are becoming Obamacidal
How long will it be before the Rats are claiming Cohen is a Republican trojan horse?
