Poor women. She should get together with John McCain's ex-wife. Maybe she could help her through this difficult time.

So sad that no one has posted any comments. I feel very sorry for Mrs. Edwards and hope her cancer is in remission, but she is wrong on her choice for President. COUNTRY FIRST, McCAIN/PALIN.......no "me-first" Obama ever!

There is nothing "poor" about Elizabeth Edwards. She embodies the true spirit of a strong Southern woman. Her life won't be defined by what has happened to her, but rather how she gets beyond it to what is really meaningful. I believe she told us: her children and changing health care for America.

McCain/ Palin is the ultimate "me first" ticket. Palin is ignorant enough to admit she didn't even blink when offered the chance to run. Knowing she is not qualified to be VP or President, or Governor for that matter. But Alaska being 48th in high school graduation rates, that doesn't surprise me. Only in America are smart people derided for being smart. Why should we vote for another dumb President? Look what the last eight years got us. I have no sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards regarding her marital situation because if John Edwards had been the nominee and this had come out, it wouldn't be 49%/49% like it is now. This country would be in real trouble, and may still be if stupid voters have their way. If you make less than 250k annually and vote Republican, that includes YOU. Gay marriage and abortions should not be your primary issue (unless you are gay or plan to have an abortion). I'm sure you do have to fill yourm gas tank weekly though.

Elizabeth Edwards is a total class act. I have always admired her for her efforts on heath care and other issues. To me she is someone who stands for "strong values." Not some of the pretenders out there.

I feel sorry for her. But I feel more sorry for the country. If Edwards had stepped out of the race when the story first broke, we would have Hillary as the nominee and Universal Health Care on the table. Now we have absolutely NO chance of health care, since O's plan has zero chance of passing and M's plan will be making companies insure but be allowed to rate you out of the ballpark.

Sorry Elizabeth that you were betrayed by your husband but why did you then turn around and betray the rest of the country and claim to be in favor of health insurance?

For John, it probably wasn't his first affair, nor will it be his last. However, it was the one he was "caught" in. Mrs. Edwards will be an "enabler" if she turns a blind eye. Bill Clinton is cut from the same mold. Sleazy, creeps. No integrity.

Stop harassing Elizabeth Edwards, for allegedly *standing by her man*
UNTIL you've walked in her shoes, no one can say what she is doing is wrong.
Yes he cheated, yes it was especially hurtful and terrible under the circumstances, but, do WE decide how she should deal with it?
It is a personal family matter, that needs to be put to rest. Sadly her children will or have already dealth with it and the aftermath.
She is doing what she believes in her heart is right for all involved.
You can't just throw away being married to someone for 30 years, who is the father of your children.
Not know how long she has left, do you spend that time hating your spouse? Asking your children to pay the price?
She's doing what SHE needs to do, so everyone just BUTT OUT. Let her live her life her way, having cancer can give you perspective that the general population cannot possibly understand.
She has clarity of what's most important in her life, we need to RESPECT that!

Clt...Gov. Palin was vetted for four months and had plenty of time to contemplate this with her husband. Don't be stupid that she gave it 2 minutes consideration.

Sorry Emma should have been Rob Paul and whom ever these 2 haven't a clue and don't even agree on any of the main issues listen to them he says one thing and she says just the opposite. As For the Edwards since I am not without sin I will not cast the first stone and neither should anybody else. This is all between the 2 of them not the whole damm country.

I have always admired Elizabeth Edwards. Her strength and grace in the face of such difficult circumstances only make me admire her more. You're in our prayers Elizabeth!

Pack his bags. Set him out. The children have two people to look upon as role models. Step up to the plate and put him out. Tell the children frankly and honestly. I loved your dad, I love you more than life, but I will not have him around as we build a life of integrity and love - your dad hasn't found that yet. Never put yourself in the position of having a child ask you years from now - why in the name of heaven did just roll over, shrug your shoulders and say it was for us kids? Come on Mom, no one takes self-pride and esteem from my Mom, no one including my father who made the mistake.

I hope she continues to fight her battle. She made the commmet about "If this had been a leg they amputated, they would have said how is that leg thing doing" What she is not saying is that is totally different then getting your heart ripped out of you!!!! This woman is hurting , you know she is, so anyone that is actaully bringing up other politicians or their wives are complete idiots!!!!!!

The reason I'm angry at John Edwards is because he hurt her. This has NOTHING to do with us. He betrayed his wife. McCain's affair certainly isn't hurting him in the polls. This is a private family matter.

Elizabeth Edwards is a strong woman to have gone through so much and then have to deal with all of this on top of everything. I respect her decision because after all it is her decision and she is the only one who has to live with the choice she's made. If she feels that she's doing what is right for her family and it's a choice that she can live with, then I say more power to her.

Sorry for what's she's going through and hope she can survive. However, I'm disgusted by the fact that she knew he wasn't who she said he was and yet she "kept quiet", allowing thousands of good folks to have faith in her husband. This was deceitful and a very dishonorable thing to do. I therefor I have a real hard time believing anything she says or supporting anything she does. Whether it's the economy or family or friends-confidence is everything and I have no confidence in her.

I feel sorry for this lady, her husband is abouty as pitiful a human being as there ever was.

While I have absolutely nothing good to say about John Edwards, I have nothing but admiration for Elizabeth Edwards. She certainly deserves better than she has with John.

Elizabeth Edwards has it so together on health care reform! It is incredible, incredible that she has the fortitude to continue to advocate for others on the health care issue while dealing with her own severe health issue.

Where do we get women like this??
