White says the candidates include Cohen, Democratic Rep. Annazette Collins and former Chicago Alderman Ed Smith.

The Senate seat is Cohen's latest attempt to get into politics. He lost a bid for governor after giving up the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor when revelations about his personal life became public.

White says the committeemen want to pick a replacement who can win a full term in next year's election.
