Rumor has it that John Edwards may be dropping out of the Presidential race tomorrow because from the sounds of it his wife's cancer may be back.

Course no one will know till his Press conference.

I think he comes off as an idiot most of the time, but I hope his wife is alright and that he is able to stick in the race for a while.

Hey that's as good an excuse as any. He would only win the moonbat vote anyway.

I won't be sad to see Edwards go...

But if true about his wife I will pray she will be alright..

I will be, because i think alot of the stuff he does is funny. But if his family needs him then thats where he should be and i hope his wife is alright.

This is a shame, first, because the Edwardses have had enough tragedy in their lives (their eldest son was killed in an automobile accident).

It's a shame, secondly, because seeing John Edwards inaugurated as president would have pissed off some of you right-wing wackos enormously.

Apparently, he's going on with his campaign in spite of his wife's illness:

pissed us off? nah. To be honest, I think id prefer edwards to the other guys you want to nominate. He is a pretty amusing guy. Of course thats cause im laughing at him and i probably shouldnt do that as much.

Besides, if edwards was the nominee he would never win. The Republicans have too many qualified candidates running. It wouldnt matter who is running Edwards wouldnt look good in comparison.

Yeah, I heard that on the news. They also said it was found in her bone, ribs I think they said. I'd give her < 1 year. I don't understand why he's going to continue, sympathy vote maybe?

Well I think she probably wanted him to continue. Can't imagine continuing otherwise. I dont think he is making any political moves. Maybe they just realize its going to be terminal regardless of whether he runs or not so just continue the plans.

That very weel may be the case and I did hear she is going with him on the trail,
hard to say how long that will last though. Very sad, I feel for them both.

I do too. And there probably will be some sympathy vote involved. Especially if she dies close to the primaries... But I don't think believe that is his intention.

I think more than likely both of them just feel there is no point to stop living their lives just because she might not live as long.

What a smug, arrogant right-wing wacko you are.

So Edwards wouldn't look good compared to McCain? You need to move out of your inbred, Limbaugh-fueled right-wing circles more. Get out in the real world. You might be surprised to find, for example, that a large majority of Americans think George Bush is a terrible president.

[stephanie]

I guess we found an Edwards voter...

[stephanie]

It's already starting.....
I'm really sorry about Elizabeth's illness...
But what I REALLY cant stand.....Is people using it for a Political campaign.....Coming next....We can't say anything against Edwards, because his wife is ill...Mark my words..

If you could ask Elizabeth where to donate I have a hunch she would say John's campaign

Because his win would, in turn, be a huge help to cancer research in the end (AND so much more). A better way IMO.

ELIZABETH EDWARDS SAYS "Donate Directly to Campaign"
I just heard back from Andy Hurst who works on the campaign. Send money directly to the campaign. She talked Edwards out of dropping out. I think you can indicate "DU" somewhere on the donation.


Thanks,
