Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Thursday cited the potential for bad “karma” and avoided discussing potential Senate successors to Barack Obama should the Democratic nominee win the White House, but acknowledged he has a process in mind for making the most important appointment of his career.

“I just don’t want to jinx him and I don’t like the karma of me thinking that far ahead,” Blagojevich said of Obama ‘s prospects in Tuesday’s election. The governor added, “We have had some discussions about a process which we’ll share ... if all goes well.”

The governor added, “We have had some discussions about a process which we’ll share ... if all goes well.”

Which confirms what Axelrod said two weeks ago, making Obama the liar yesterday.

Jesse Jackson Jr. was the leading contender for the senate seat. His sister is one of Obama’s daughters Godmother.
