* 2:48 pm - More on Elga “Present” Jefferies…
Asked if Blagojevich had offered her a job, Jefferies said, “Not at this point, no.”
“I might go and ask him for one,” she said. “I have no problem with asking.”
She said the idea of potential state job no role in her vote: “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”
When a reporter suggested that she ask Blagojevich soon, she said: “I know. Maybe I can get a couple of months in.”
Jefferies said she did not think Blagojevich should resign now.
“I think he’s due his day in court,” Jefferies said. “I really do. I really do.”
In fact, Jefferies said, he should be able to finish the term if the court case drags through the next two years.
“Sure,” she said, “I think that there’s still a chance that he can make some adjustments and making things right.”
