5. DId you hear any mention of the names of the people to whom

Blagojevich actually offered the senate seat in exchange for money? All I heard was that Blagojevich talked about doing that with his aide, John Harris. Was it just angry talk or did he really carry through? Is it a crime to say you want to do something? How far do you have to go? Did I miss part of the story? Did Blagojevich actually offer the Senate seat to someone and then not appoint that person because the person did not give Blagojevich what he asked for? I'm not getting this.
