Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) stock continues its steep ascent, few from Kentucky will reap the maximum political benefits because they missed out on the chance to scoop up stock during the IPO while it was still cheap. According to FEC records, nobody from Commonwealth contributed a significant sum to Obama before he won his U.S. Senate primary in March of 2004.
