Blago: Axelrod asked him to mull pres. run

UPI reports:

Barack Obama's top campaign strategist and senior adviser asked Rod Blagojevich to mull a 2008 presidential run, the disgraced ex-Illinois governor claims.

"David Axelrod, who works for Obama and very correctly picked the right horse, after the 2004 presidential election, he called me on a Wednesday, the day after, and talked to me about considering running for president in 2008," Blagojevich told WGN-TV, Chicago, after being asked if he ever saw himself "someday in the White House."

Who could forget that David Axelrod used to work for Blago? Here's a recent interview with Blago.
