M. Blair Hull should withdraw from the Democratic Senate race because of allegations that he verbally and physically abused his wife in 1998, a statewide anti-violence group said Monday.

"You can't abuse women with one hand and ask for their vote with the other," said Polly Poskin, executive director of the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault.

The allegations against Hull were made public last week after he and former wife Brenda Sexton asked a judge to unseal their divorce file.

Hull continued Monday to dodge questions about whether he struck or threatened Sexton, saying he does not want to "re-litigate" his divorce.

If he did it, then he should drop out. Period! x(
