I have heard in the past several days where State Senator Terry Link who was defeated in his bid to become the Lt. Govenor of Illinios (placed fourth
out of four candidates running) ... has told various media outlets that he warned the Quinn for Governor Campaign that the Scott Lee Cohen
had a lot of baggage and was not fit to be Lt. Governor.
Governor Quinn immediately denied Link's assertions, and seemed quite annoyed and distressed by Link's public comments all over Illinois media.
Of course, what do you expect? Link embarassed the Governor by coming out in public making such assertions that the Governor "should have known."
Also, I have heard discussed by many political commentators about Link's assertions that he told the Governor's staff about Cohen that "why would Link just tell Quinn's campaign all of this? This just does not make any sense." After all, Link was running for Lt. Governor, too...if he knew so much, why didn't Link release what he knew about Cohen prior to Feb 2nd? Why didn't Link make it a campaign issue as Link was running against Cohen, too ??
All of Cohen's peccadilloes would have been great fodder for Link to use against Cohen, so political commmentators just can't figure Link out...why Link would not go directly to the Governor with such info, and why Link would not use the sordid info he claims he knew about Cohen to further Link's own campaign for Lt. Governor??
Rather, all Link did was embarass the Governor by telling all the media "I told the Governor's people about Cohen and they did not respond."
Go figure, no one else can....unless it is Link's way of "hitting back" at Quinn for not supporting Link for Lt. Governor.
