Springfield, IL – Illinois Governor Pat Quinn saw one problem vanish today but faces a new predicament in the race for governor. Quinn's opponent in the Democratic primary, Comptroller Dan Hynes, formally conceded today. But now Quinn has to deal with the revelation that his voter-selected running mate was once arrested for domestic battery. Quinn says he knew nothing about the abuse allegations against Scott Lee Cohen until after Tuesday's vote. That's when Cohen won the lieutenant governor nomination and they were paired up on the Democratic ticket. Quinn says Cohen needs to fully answer all questions about the charges, but he predicts Cohen ultimately will have to drop out of the race. Cohen claims he won't step down.
