seriously, I'm rather jealous.

however we'll have some interesting races in Mississippi to deal with. Maybe split our US Senate delegation 1-1.

Sure you won't forget the story, at least until your old and Alzheimer'sree. That doesn't mean you'll necessarily remember whether you told it to someone or not.

Would you be so quick to point something like this out if it were Romney or someone with a similar situation? Considering Edwards dropped out ages ago and I would be really surprised if the Dems picked him as a running mate, I don't see why this matters at all.

6/10/2008 11:46:04 PM

lol i'm not saying thats the one thing that makes him not worthy of vp....its one of like 5 things i dont like about him.....i dont get why people liked him...i think it was because they couldnt tell he was a lying sack of lawyer shit

6/10/2008 11:52:06 PM

If Obama wants to win NC, which everybody knows he won't, he will do well to stay as far as he can away from Edwards, but I imagine he already knows that.

6/10/2008 11:58:31 PM

He should get Jackie Chan as VP. Everyone loved Rush Hour.

6/11/2008 12:02:28 AM

honestly i'm pretty sure the only 2 obama could pick that would make me not vote for him are edwards or clinton

6/11/2008 12:05:46 AM

^^ sorry, his early work was good, there's just no way that he will ever be able to explain away "Rush Hour 2" in the general election. There's just too much at stake.

the story is pretty hilarious

7/22/2008 5:11:52 PM

whats embarassing is that our local news doesnt appear to be covering it. I understand the source is sketchy, but there 'appears' to be plenty of witnesses they could be calling to confirm.

7/23/2008 11:47:52 AM

a lot of news outlets aren't covering it because they think it's an old story. which it is, til the can prove that he was actually there visiting her, and that the kid is actually his.

until then, it's just speculation technically.

7/23/2008 12:49:19 PM

^Its not an old story to them, since the local news has never covered it at all. They arent covering it because they fucking love this guy. Sure it may be a little sketchy, but none of the local news outlets are exactly the bastion of accuracy either.

I'd rather they confirm that this did happen than drag anybody through the mud on an allegation. Even though I despise the man

LA Times gag on Edwards love child story

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/07/la-times-gag-on.html

7/26/2008 6:30:40 AM

now that a criminal complaint has been filed against the hotel (by the enquirer reporters) AND the security guard has stepped forth (although on fox news)... this story should gain some traction soon.

Hopefully they don't Larry Craig him. nobody deserves that until the full truth comes out, even if the full truth is... what we heard from the beginning.

7/26/2008 8:07:12 AM

no traction with the "real news"

but jeeze... i think he's fucked at this point....

I refuse to believe it. There is absolutely no way a classy ambulance chaser would stoop to paying some chick off to keep her mouth shut. We're talking about the son of a mill worker here folks.

7/30/2008 11:21:32 AM

7/30/2008 11:25:38 AM

^you might be interested to look at the original sources in most of the "another republican scandal" threads, since you seemed to care if this might "ruin (Edwards') life"

hint: they're mostly blogs about as credible as the national enquirer

7/30/2008 11:57:24 AM

this still makes me

8/5/2008 6:28:09 AM

its ok, it gives him more time to be the baby-daddy.

8/5/2008 8:21:48 AM

i been telling everyone i can since 2004 that this guy is a fucking scumbag...i dont understand how people still like him

The photos Natl. Enq. have been pestered about are now up.

Is this damning or a hack job?

I have my opinions and they are not flattering at all to say the least.

8/6/2008 4:40:24 PM

that nat enq site sucks donkey balls

8/7/2008 9:06:07 AM

Not to ignore these very serious allegations or stoop to ad hominem... but... the stamp of a really serious and important website are stray bold tags in the page title.

8/7/2008 9:17:51 AM

The N&O's front page is all about opening the door for this to be huge now. They are basically calling for Edwards to come clean one way or the other.

http://www.newsandobserver.com

8/7/2008 11:53:38 AM

So what the N&O is really saying is that enquiring minds want to know?

8/7/2008 2:54:32 PM

i bet obama sneaked in to his room one night and poked pinholes in all his anti-baby balloons...

8/7/2008 2:59:18 PM

fake

that one pic that is blured connects the other two.

Without that fake pic there is no story.

8/7/2008 8:01:49 PM

Why would anyone believe the same magazine that puts out big foot and alien abduction stories?

john edwards needs to die and take the tort to the grave with him

someone had to say it

NEWSFLASH:

Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

Quote :

"John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extra-marital affair with a novice film-maker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today. In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her."

8/8/2008 3:06:28 PM

There goes his political career.

I want to feel sorry for him because I agree with some of the causes he has fought for, but cheating on your significant other is pretty despicable.

I am actually shocked by this.

8/8/2008 3:38:56 PM

Especially cheating on your cancer-infected significant other.

Pretty low, John.

8/8/2008 3:40:12 PM

8/8/2008 3:40:44 PM

Fuck.

He's a family friend, and I like the guy. But there's really no defending that.

I feel bad for Elizabeth. She's a nice woman.

[Edited on August 8, 2008 at 3:47 PM. Reason : 2]

8/8/2008 3:42:24 PM

told ya

So sad for his already broken family. This is one of the most despicable things a man could ever do to a woman who would die for him.

8/8/2008 3:51:56 PM

BEFORE WE ALL RUSH TO JUDGE

she was diagnosed wiht breast cancer in late 2004, after the election

the affair happened in 2006 -- AFTER she was already in remission and was no longer requiring treatments.

she was told about it shortly after it happened. it was apparently a brief affair. they apparently went through counselign or whatever and put it behind them.

her cancer returned in early 2008.

....


so fuck all you self-righteous assholes.

mind your own buisness okay.

but ... i will agree that edwards is a selfish bastard for thinking he could run a presidential campaign and not have this be found out.

for that, he is an asshole.

8/8/2008 4:10:42 PM

that kids gonna have great hair

8/8/2008 4:11:54 PM

so cheating on your wife with breast cancer is okay.

as is having your best friend take the fall for it for over a year now.

yeah no rush to judgment is in order.

8/8/2008 4:12:42 PM

Cheating sucks and is despicable.

8/8/2008 4:12:52 PM

it was a shitty thing to do.

there's really nothing more than that that can be said to be honest.

8/8/2008 4:15:30 PM

the illegitimate son of the son of a millworker

8/8/2008 4:15:48 PM

At least no one died when Edwards lied

8/8/2008 4:16:08 PM

It's a pretty dick thing to do, but infidelity is extremely prevalent in America today. I have personally known more than few people who have at some point in their marriage failed to remain faithful.

So on the one side, he's only human. Something like 1 in 4 Americans is unfaithful at some point in their marriage. (Which sort of figures with a divorce rate close to 50%.)

I'd still like to think that the caliber of a man who would run for the highest office in the land would be something a little better. You know, the cream of the crop so to speak.

This, unfortunately, does not seem to be the case.

8/8/2008 4:36:34 PM

^ well put.

to me its the fact he did this to a wife with cancer and a friend who took the fall. but he is only human, and that is something to be said for all of us.

This relationship is usually inverse.

Imagine the kind of personality that spends a majority of their life trying to rule other people, who then feels they should take the next step and rule the most powerful country on the planet. It's not your meek little "nice guy." As amiable as Obama (or Bush for that matter) comes off as being, I don't know anyone that had a coke habit that is not at least a little-bit insane.
