why were the same pople complaining about a $400 haircut for edwards unconcerned about McCain's $6000/month makeup habit?

Senator Edwards has done alot for raising our conscious about poverty. He is a voice that doesn't let us forget poverty must be addressed. He is a good man who has taken a couple of wrong turns. Believe me living with someone who is critically ill is very draining and depressing no matter how much you love them. John Edwards got a girlfriend. When I was taking care of my critically ill parents I got a dog. Who's to say which was better.

Funny how a Democrat who has an affair is a "liar" but a Republican Presidential candidate who cheated on his wife as she lay in her death bed is an "Amerian hero". It's also funny how being labeled a cheater is Play 1A in the Republican playbook of politics, yet Obama never once mentioned McCain's past infidelities. Something to think about, children.

Edwards is just way too slick and always has been. Like Palin, he should just go quietly off to do something else.

Senator Edwards appears to want to work in the area of poverty and that is great..and worthy. He can do it on his own...not as one of Obama's team.

My heart went out to Mrs. Edwards..to have a partner break your trust is devastating.

When will men stop thinking with their penis...and start using their brain?
Ditto for the unfaithful wives / girlfriends who use sex to gratifie their agendas.

$35,000 receive for a speech? Somuch for helping the poor!!

Maybe it is also time Americans stopped mixing private and public lives of people.
This pretence and stubborn mis -belief that man and women don't cheat or whatever you wanna call is silly.We are human beings on top of that mortal.Edwards is good at other things and not good in others.that's normal.

male Democrats have affairs with women.. can't say the same about Republican men.

Go away, Edwards. You're little more than a cavorting fop.

John Edwards is a horsesarse, but I like and admire Elizabeth Edwards.

Hey JameyCarothers nobody said he needs to take a vow of poverty but if he reached into his own pocket not the american peoples it would go a long way! How much did Mr. Edwards give to charity, I bet we gave more than he did! I know that I gave more than Biden and Obama put together last year and I only make 150K

OK, all you "good Christians"... there must be a NEW bible out there you're following... which would explain why you are OBSESSED with people's sins. This guy did something awful - but not to YOU. His wife wants to deal within the family - everyone knows about it - but can't we at least be kind to HER and not bring it up at every, every point? And the writer of this article needs to do more than use 'spell check' - try not to shoot the articles off till you've read them and see if you've missed a word. But why was the title of this article "Affair Remains In The Dark". What sweet morsel of information do you want brought 'to light'? It's a very unflattering aspect of your nature to focus on this. OK, he's back. So what if he has a lot of money? So do a lot of people - the McCains, for example, the Bushes, the Cheneys, etc. etc. The fact that he wants to help the poor - that's BAD? He doesn't HAVE to, thank God some people with money are willing to throw their weight and expertise into helping those who are needy.

Why is Edwards still talking? Move on, pal.

Can we suggest to Edwards that he step back out of the spotlight? It would be great if he took Ted Stevens, Newt, Bill Clinton, and the rest of the over the hill club in congress with him.

Mr Edwards Has not lied as much as Mr Obama about his personal life.

Mr Edwards lied about a personal life having an affair.

Mr Obama lied about his family and everyone of his personal Friends and aquantineces numerious times, plus NAFTA and Iraq and who knows what else.

Mr Ewards Did face the nation and admit and apologize for his lie.

Mr Obama has yet to Apologize to the American people. when caught Mr Obama continued to lie to the American People.

So there is no Reason to Treat Mr Edwards than with any less respect than you do Mr Obama.

You Are an Absolute Hypocrite if you do.

You want to know what John Edward's biggest problem is? He's a phony. He is Bill Clinton without any sort of depth or personality. He's the Democratic Mitt Romney (sans the infidelity) - all style no substance. He should remain out of the spotlight.

I really don't see how we can be so righteous about politicians faults. Are we so pure? Even some saints before they became saints lived a carnal life. No one dragged us to hear Edwards speech. People weren't chained to their chairs for the evening. How do we know the 35,000 didn't go to chemotherapy for his wife and not haircuts. Come on.

GUS: What do you mean 'male Democrates have affairs with women---can't say the same abut Republican men.' Senator John McCain had an affair with Cindy while still married to his first wife--and eventually did marry her--

Edwards has no integrity....what kind of REAL man would have an affair while his wife battled cancer.

His political career is best described as one foot on the banana peel and one foot in the grave. What a loser!

Between his multi-million dollar mansion, 600$ hair cuts and his hedge fund consultant job, Edwards like all other liberal democrats is serious about tackling the issue of poverty.
