Why is Obama accepting Blago's support?

Now that we are asking presidential candidates about support from dubious quarters, this question seems so obvious that it hasn't been asked.

Why is Barack Obama accepting the support of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, whose two top fundraisers have been indicted and who the federal government has labeled Public Official "A" in the largest public corruption investigation in Illinois history?

Blagojevich spokesman Abby Ottenhoff called to say that the Obama campaign has given Blagojevich an assignment, to woo six Democratic governors for Obama.

Barack not only is accepting Rod's support, he's giving him an "assignment."
