ASSfX lATtD PRESS WASHINGTON-Barack Obama has shown a Midas touch in 80 many different ways that it’s easy to forget he’s just another new senator In the past year, the fresh man from Illinois has become a best-selling author, a mil lionaire, a Grammy Award winner and an important fundraiser for Democrats. Altogether. Obama has helped raise $6.5 million for his political action committee and other Democratic candi dates, party committees and state parties, as he crisscross es the country from New Jersey to Virginia to Florida. He brought in about $800,000 with an e-mail mes sage sent out on MoveOn.org on behalf of Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., who at age 88 is seeking a ninth term in office “He said some nice things about me,” Byrd recalled. “Anywhere he comes in West Virginia we will give the man a great reception. He’s a won derful man.” Some of Obeuna’s fundrais ing activities are part of his job as a vice chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “These are tripe not initiat ed by me; these are trips that other people think will be helpful,” Obama said, noting he has family and political obligations in Illinois. “For every invitation Fve accepted, I’ve turned down 100.” “I’ve been incredibly blessed.” he said in an inter view with The Associated Press. “My attitude is as along as I work hard, as long as I operate honestly, with integri ty, the worst that can happen to me is that I can lose an elec tion.” Cliarleston I louse on Tlie plaza Country Restaurant Come see us for your Valentine’s meal!!
