IL: Democratic Leader Allegedly Threatened Independent Candidate

From the Chicago Sun Times:

Independent candidate for governor Scott Lee Cohen would not name names Friday, but he said "a very high up" member of the state's Democratic Party threatened him in his earlier run for lieutenant governor. "It was: 'If you don't drop out today, then all your tax records better be in impeccable order because someone's going to jail," Cohen told WLS-AM's Bill Cameron on a taping of "Connected to Chicago."
