Blago Indictment: Let’s Play A Little “Public Official X” Bingo!

In the long tradition of federal indictment writery, a number of the potentially involved and/or somewhat dragged into the mix folks in the Blagojevich indictment are labeled by anonymous titles as exciting as "Candidate 1."

Reading through the indictment, however, some of the unnamed yet subtly identified players are easier to guess than others.

For example, "Senate Candidate 1," identified as "her" is pretty clearly Valerie Jarrett (based on dates and news corroboration).  And by the read of the indictment, it feels like Obama told Blago to stuff whatever he was demanding and popped her into his political advisor pool instead. (If so, good for Obama.)

ArchPundit has tagged Senate Candidate 2 as Lisa Madigan. I think he’s right on the money on that one (no pun intended.

And my gut tells me that Senate Candidate 5 may be Jesse Jackson, Junior, although I’m still trying to pull out some context as I read through, so that one’s not a positive in my book yet.

You have any speculation to share based on factual and anecdotal evidence? Do tell.

The full indictment is available here. And I’ve popped a full copy of the USatty’s press release here for your perusal as well.  Let’s all dig in and see who shows up where. Bingo!
