Amen to all the above. This is a topic that won't go
away for some time. Why was she getting paid by a
campaign staffer and another staffer says he is the
father of the baby. What a mess and the whole truth
is yet to be probably. When he was interviewed by
I believe (Bob Woodriff) he looked like a deer in the
headlights. He asked him why Elizabeth wasn't there
and he said I needed to be a man and take this and I
asked her not to be here. Please!!!!

HYPOCRITE is right!

I KNEW Edwards was a hypocrite when he talked about how "green" he is - living in a gazillion square foot house that must suck up as much energy as my whole street!

Those with nearly unlimited wealth seem to always lose sight of reality somewhere along the way.

"Oh, baby - Elizabeth, you know I will support you every way I know how and take care of the kids should you not make it. However, now I am on the way to make a very social conscious video, and will see you later."

Kiss, kiss, while stroking her thinned out hair.

Faked smile as John imagines what will happen after the video session. . .

Edwards is a hypocritical typical politician. I was charmed by him when he ran with Kerry, but I felt that his run this time around despite his wife health status spoke volumes. It just portrays his selfishness and his own agenda. This admission does not surprise me. I remember hearing a cancer survivor speak and she had this to say about unsupportive spouses:
"Whatever time I may have left, I don't want to spend it with you". People come in all varieties unfortunately, not all of them are supportive.
Just my 2 cents.

Thumbs down Edwards: Less help than a girl needs

I have no respect for John Edwards or the people who said Elizabeth has incurable cancer. Elizabeth is doing her best. She doesn't need a guy like John Edwards or the people who made those negative comments giving her more stress than she probably already has. I hope she lives until she is 150 !! Maybe she needs more people like us on her team. Let's adopt her.
