Via The Hill, Blagojevich copped the honest crook defense on Fox News this morning:
"I could have named my wife if I wanted to," Blagojevich said of his Senate appointment, adding that his team had looked into such possibilities as Oprah and Valerie Jarrett. "Look at what Gov. [Charlie] Crist (R) did in Florida -- he put his chief of staff in there to hold the seat warm for him so he could run for the U.S. Senate. I didn't do any of those things."
The St. Petersburg Times's Adam Smith has a good piece today on the state of the Crist v. Rubio race.
