Cook County Republican Party recruited a mentally ill man, James Batek, 55, to run against State Rep. Harry Osterman, D 14th. Batek has lived in a nursing home for treatment of his bipolar disorder and schizophrenia for 14 years. The Republicans are finding it very difficult to field candidates for the election.
