Mum's the Word? Not Likely for Blagojevich
CHICAGO (AP) -- A big question facing Rod Blagojevich now isn't whether money talks but whether he can make some for talking.

His publicist Glenn Selig says that even as Blagojevich gets ready for another trial after jurors deadlocked this week on all but one felony count against him, he needs to earn a living.

And because his campaign war chest that not long ago was filled with $2.7 million is empty after his attorneys spent the money to defend him on corruption charges, he may have to find more money if he hopes to keep his legal team together.

Selig says Blagojevich is exploring a number of media opportunities, but he won't say what they are. He does say a return to the world of reality television shows is a possibility.
