Mrs. Edwards, I am not in your shoes, none of is are. Do what you need to do for you and stay strong.

In reality, being that Sen. Edwards is no longer in the running for president, it's none of our business how you choose to live your life. We do not know everything that goes on behind closed doors.

Stay strong..first and foremost..for you. That strength will then trickle down to your children.

Blessings of healing.

It's none of my business.

Emma, she's the one who said she didn't blink before agreeing. And if you believe they vetted her for 4 months just because Mccain now says so, I'm not the only one who is stupid.

Men who have extra-marital affairs should be BANNED from Politics... I mean... I they can't be faithful to their families, how can they be faithful to the country.

psssst. mccain

Congratulations to Mrs. Edwards for weathering this storm and continuing to care for the people of the United States. Healthcare for ALL Americans is a very important issue -- much more important than bailing out the various financial institutions.

What goes around comes around Ms Hunter. What in the world makes you think you have a chance at becoming Mrs Edwards? Your just as stupid as you can be. Get a job and stop allowing others to pay your way. What you are doing is nothing new, it's the oldest profession known.

Fortunately, Elizabeth Edwards has not been subjected to Obama's campaign tactics--like this:

Behold the anti-free speech tactics of the "Obama Action Wires" talking points that left wing activists are using to try to intimidate opponents and overwhelm radio station phone systems.
It's the same oppressive mindset that is behind other intimidation tactics, such as the release and abuse of the Palin family's phone number, the hacking of Sarah Palin's email account, and the unrelenting "opposition research." They now go far beyond debating the qualifications and judgment of candidates, and now have adopted tactics meant to bully, slander, smear and humiliate the candidates, their spouses, and even minor children of candidates.

Today's progressive radicals still have the mindset of Bill Ayers, they've merely found new tactics to employ.

Bristol Palin is being harassed by a petty celebrity trying to goad her into having an abortion. Others, having discovered family telephone numbers, have left obscene messages demanding nude photos.
How long until unhinged "progressive" activists target Willow Palin, a 14 year-old girl, with unfounded rumors designed to sully her reputation? (Answer: They already have).
How about elementary school-aged Piper? When are they going to insist she's being molested, or is deviant in some way?
How about baby Trig? Many pro-abortionists are already irate the Down's Syndrome child was allowed to live.

What is next, Obamaphiles? I shudder at the thought.

Update: The bullying tactics of the official Obama campaign revealed:
A message goes out over Barack Obama's Web site with the names, phone numbers and e-mails of editors and producers foolish enough to host Obama critics. With Mr. Obama's extensive digital following, and his extensive fund-raising and contact lists, shutting up the Democratic nominee's critics with a fraction of Mr. Obama's millions of supporters is relatively simple. The digital legions plug phone lines, crash servers and intimidate the advertisers of these media outlets. This must be another instance of the "new" politics that Mr. Obama frequently talks about.

You know I think Elizabeth is a strong women. Life is not always what we want it to beb but some how we get through, I'm qute sure a ot of women out there can relate. It not worth dweeling over move on.

alice...Nasty statement..guess there is always one who will take advantage of someones pain and suffering and turn it into a political dig...Are you sure you are a alice or al...

Excuse me Thug

You are a sick person - just in case you didn't know

If exposing Obama's hypocrisy and Mayor Daley-style political thuggery is sick--I don't want to be well.

she is a great woman and has lived an honorable life. he has not and he must always live with that.

So this is news?

Boo hoo. I used to have respect for this lady but she and her hypocritical husband are partly to blame for Hillary not having the nomination.

islemom: You are referring to JOHN MCCAIN, right? Because he has had many affairs - the marriage to Cindy was the culmination of one of them. So.... McCain?

Concerned about her children is she ?? This would be a golden opportunity for her to teach them to never stand passively by and let another human being disrespect you and assault your very being like John Edwards has done.

Teach them "forgiveness" - not on your life. Standing by her man is only going to teach them how to be doormats. This was not John Edwards first affair, his only affair and it certainly won't be his last.

Call it like it is - she is just another political wife who likes the lifestyle and won't give it up no matter what he has done or will do. Unfortunately, she has cancer and going to work and earning her own way might be a difficult task right now but certainly no more difficult than swallowing this load of hooey.

I know of a lot of people that died froma a broken faith. Mrs. Edwards, you need to stay strong so you can be with us in the coming year.

Elizabeth is doing what is best for her young children (10 & 8 years old). At this time she does not have the luxury of leaving John Edwards, because her time is limited. She wants to give her children an 'intact' family. Hopefully her 'husband' will be with her during her last days. She's being very strong and self-less. Is she a co-dependent? No, she is just being practical.

No respect for a woman that allows and supports her husband to run for President of our country when she knew about this affair. They played a dangerous game and took a huge risk. They were just lucky it didn't come out while he was campaigning.

Better for kids to COME from a broken home than to LIVE in one.

What are these kids learning from all of this ??
