However, the person referred to in the federal criminal complaint against Blagojevich as "Candidate #5" is Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., according to a law enforcement official and Jackson's own attorney.

Jackson is considered a candidate to replace Obama in the Senate, and met with the governor about the job the day before his arrest.

Speaking at an afternoon news conference, Jackson Jr. said he was "outraged" at the thought that the state's Senate seat may have been put up to the highest bidder.

    • At the very least he has lost the chance to be a Senator for free. At the very worst he might have time to do. The more he constantly yaks about his innocence, the more I think he is guilty. He just needs to shut up and let the Feds do their investigation, stay out of the way, and for gods sake stay off the media with his constant whining, its over, he is out of the running, he needs to get over it and find a way too get elected if he wants to be Senator!!!

    • Unfortunately, anyone connected to Chicago politics is a sitting duck for a prosecuter. Jesse Jr. appears to be up a creek without a paddle, and Daddy as well.
