This isn’t surprising. Cohen’s shady background, and its potential to torpedo the Democrats’ hold on power, was all that really made this race newsworthy.

Expect it to return to that status by about this time tomorrow, now that the contest is no longer defined by talk of prostitutes and knives held to throats.
