That would be weird, if true. Blagojevich has been under investigation for a long time and everyone knew it. Its been an open secret for months that he'd probably get nailed for some form of bribery. Why would Jackson (or someone on his behalf) proposition a guy that they know is going down? And that ABC article notes that Blagojevich is threatening the Obama campaign (that guy really is a nutjob) with appointing Candidate #5:
According to the affidavit, Blagojevich threatened to appoint Senate Candidate No. 5 if President-elect Obama refused to help get his wife on "paid corporate boards right now." "If they feel like they can do this and not f-- give me anything then I'll f-- go [Senate Candidate 5]." But Jackson is someone that the Obama campaign supported and Jackson was an early supporter of theirs. How would it be a threat to appoint Jackson if Obama didn't play ball? The Obama campaign would presumably be quite happy if Jackson was appointed to the seat. Something doesn't add up here.
