WLS: The Democratic nominee for Illinois lieutenant governor has dropped out of the race less than a week after winning the nomination amid a political uproar about his past.



The announcement comes one day after nominee Scott Lee Cohen’s ex-girlfriend, Amanda Eneman, spoke out for the first time.



Scott Lee Cohen announced his decision Sunday night at a Chicago bar.
