Just two weeks before his arrest on corruption charges, then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich floated a plan to give President Obama's former Senate seat to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, the daughter of his biggest political rival, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, in return for concessions on his pet projects, people familiar with the plan told The Associated Press. Blagojevich told Sen. Dick Durbin he was thinking of naming Lisa Madigan to the seat, according to two Durbin aides who spoke on condition of anonymity. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
