Ahhh the sweet smell of our wanna be Leaders on both sides of this "issue". Maybe no one should be our next President.

Edwards stopped from going table to table to chase an ambulance from table to table.

Oh man! Remember in 2004 when the Liebermans forgot to send Howard Dean an Easter card? I heard that's why Joe lost the election.

wow what a relief
because you know for a moment there i thought that Edwards was using his wifes illness for political gain.

now i know he's just a *very sensitive man*.

John, you are such wack whimpster. How can we depend upon you to defend America's shores against islamo-islamos? Follow the major Republican candidates' path, which means dumping any annoying spousal baggage. Newt, McCain, Thompson, and Rudy did it. So can you.

PS: Mitt? He is as solid in his beliefs as a one armed bandit in a Las Vegas casino.

I'll bet those damned unsympathetic Clintons won't even vote for Edwards.

As it turns out, the story is not true.

"Senator Clinton called Senator Edwards on Friday, but they didn't connect. That evening, someone asked him if he had spoken to her, and he said they hadn't talked yet since they hadn't, but he certainly did not suggest that she hadn't reached out. They spoke today and had a very nice conversation, and Senator and Mrs. Edwards both appreciated her call."

Hey, we democrats aren't pansies. Hey, come on, don't call us that. That hurts. Apologize... please.

question. why should someone vote for a guy who makes a point of continuing a (doomed) candidacy in spite of the spouse's potentially deadly sickness? this doesn'make you presidential material, it makes you come across as not caring. you should have simply put the race on hold for a while and re-evalute everything later.

I heard Newt's first wife called to give her support. She also gave Elizabeth a bit of advice on what to do when John starts coming home later and later at night.

"Follow the major Republican candidates' path, which means dumping any annoying spousal baggage. Newt, McCain, Thompson, and Rudy did it."

But Thompson's the only one who did it for a very good reason.

Edwards is waiting for Newt to call to let him know whether he (Newt) would file for divorce now or wait until Elizabeth is on her death bed, like he (Newt) did to his first wife (two wives ago). It's one of those difficult moral questions Republicans are so good at - just because they have to face them so often.

In other words: John Edwards really IS a faggot. (And Ann Coulter is the oracle at Delphi.)

The Oprah-esque teevee performance by John Edwards and his horrifically tragically horribly ill wife was a cheap vulgar exercise in converting personal tragedy to a political bonanza.
