I don't think I've seen this described in such a way before. You really have clarified this for me. Thanks!

I could never get pass the idea that he was sleezy. The day he and his wife announced her cancer was back I knew something bigger was wrong. He was not doting on her. It was as if they were announcing a business transaction. His reaction should have been devastation but instead he "reassured" his supporters that he would continue his quest for the white house. It just seemed off. Sort of selfish.

He is a sleezeball - no different from Bill Clinton. He is full of himself. Good riddance!

I tend to agree that Edwards dug his own grave, but I will mourn the loss of his much needed message--helping the poor among us. It is unfortunate that the many innocent and worthy targets of the Edwards appeal will lose their visibility and will leave the national consciousness all because their messenger strayed and ruined his own credibility.

What a shame that it all ended this way! He moved me along with millions of others more fortunate with tragic stories of the nation's working poor. Now they have been victimized again because their messenger not only did the misdeed, but lied about it repeatedly and drowned his own worthy message along the way.

Final thought--Why is it that the most effective of messengers are often unworthy of carrying their much needed message?

I would like to see him ousted from politics all together.

He does not reflect the majority of values in this country. This is a time when the world watches our country's actions and we are being judged by others. Edwards does not deserve a spot among those dedicated government servants of the people where values and righteousness have always been important.

He lied, and I want my campaign contribution refunded - where do I go to get it back?

Such a great article, but then Mashek throws in this senseless comment about Sean Hannity, which takes away from the entire article. I guess Mashek feels guilty about slamming a Democrat, so he has to throw in a sniper punch to Hannity and the GOP. Yeah, Hannity can be a blow-hard, but what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

Very "high-schoolish".

Article started out as an "A", the way it ended, I'd give it a "B-".

She should sue for divorce now so that she gets half or more of their possesion and ensure her children's future. Then she can die in peace. If she stays married and dies, her philandering husband retains all possession which could end up in another woman's hand should he marry again.

We, the public do not have all the facts, just what John and Elizabeth Edwards are telling us along with lawyers. I believe the child is his. I belive Elizabeth is covering and covered for him for two reasons, the family, and her own personal ambitions.

I heard the announcement on CNCB when they announced John Edwards was withdrawing from the race due to the recurring cancer in wife Elizabeth.( then it became clear, he was not)

She knew about the affair at that moment and time, and encouraged him to stay in the race. Books, speaking engagements, adoring fans and all the glory, hype, that goes with the wife of a Democratic hopeful. She cheated as well. I wonder if $400.00 hair cuts and "I Feel Pretty" spoof seems that unreal today.
