Blagojevich's indictment
Blagojevich's indictment is here.
From page 66 of the indictment (68 of the .pdf)
Also of note is that Senate Candidate 1 is referred to as "her" elsewhere in indictment. Lisa Madigan or Tammy Duckworth? I'm actually going with Duckworth as I think that Madigan would have enough political capital of her own to horse trade with Blago for the seat. A relative newb like Duckworth would need a push from someone else in a "political Senate buying" scenario.
Update:Peter Patrick Fitzgerald is live right now.
Update2: Lots of people are calling Senate Candidate 1 Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett

Later in the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but “they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.”
