Dem pawnbroker candidate drops out

The embattled Democratic nominee for Illinois' governor, Scott Lee Cohen, a pawnbroker, a former steroids user, and a man who was arrested for putting a knife to the throat of his then-girlfriend, a prostitute, has dropped of the race.

Up to the end Cohen didn't get the "image" part of politics. He announced his decision at a bar.
