Gee, how much more money will be uncovered?
This is the breakdown Obama provided for Rezko's fund-raising:
• About $160,000 for Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate election. Obama has given that money to charity.
• From $50,000 to $60,000 for Obama's failed attempt to unseat U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush in 2000.
• Between $10,000 and $15,000 for Obama's first election, in 1996, to the Illinois Senate.
• "Somewhat less than that'' for Obama's re-elections to the Illinois Senate in 1998 and 2002.
Obama's estimate exceeded his campaign staff's previous estimates of Rezko's fund-raising during Obama's 12 years in politics. In November 2006, Obama's staff estimated Rezko raised $50,000 to $60,000 over the senator's career. In the last year, Obama's campaign fund has given charities more than $157,600 in donations it linked to Rezko, his family, friends and business associates.
