Trippi: Edwards Should Not Have Run

who cares.
this story is not newsworthy.

No one cares about John or Elizabeth Edwards anymore.

Never mind having a child with someone else. I wonder if poor Elizabeth threw up then, too.

when will politician stop pointing fingers at one another, have they not learned "what goes around comes around". 90 percent of them are guilty of the same issue.

I remember reading a Kinsey report that said that within 4 years of marriage wives have started cheating on their husbands. Which is one year sooner than when husbands start cheating on their wives. It happens.

20-20 hindsight is all too common - and often all too wrong as well. I was never deeply impressed with Edwards: he had a bit too much the practiced charisma of a philandering televangelist. But Edwards probably did help steer the nomination to Obama - by forcing Clinton into defending herself against the wrong opponent - and that may have been a very good thing.

Clinton was a good candidate, but with her "baggage" she would have had a much harder time doing what Obama is doing right now. We are probably very fortunate that Obama - and not Clinton - faced McCain. And we may be likewise fortunate that Obama and not Clinton now faces the pressures of the presidency in these times of crisis. Certainly we are blessed that it is not McCain.

Press wouldn't even cover the scandal, let alone get it right. Tired of both Edwards.

As with Elliot Spitzer, I do not dislike Edwards because of his indiscretion -- but I will take whatever weapon is at hand to defeat this man. His lying and deception know no bounds, and his disdain for the us, the public, is extraordinary, even for a Democrat. Edwards -- we are not an ignorant set of jurors you specially struck for their gullibility and we see right through your crocodile tears for the poor. Do you really think we bought your explaination for your work at a hedge fund ("I wanted to learn about the relationship between capitalism and poverty" -- hint, hint, it is perfectly indirect)? Or that we don't see that the medical system you so passionately want to save needs in fact to be saved from bottom feeding shyster lawyers like you who bring baseless claims against doctors and make your millions in this dishonest way while driving up insurance costs for doctors which are then passed on to patients? Enough already. Disappear.

Poor of the Edwards need to just go away.

Typical democrat family. Didn't we used to have a President with the same problem?

All I have to say is "Karma", what goes around, comes around. My sad thought for Elizabeth Edwards is since she knows that her cancer will never go away, what will happen when she is gone? If I were her, I would think my husband was just waiting for me to die so he can take up with this idiot "Hunter". She's a "hunter" alright, a man hunter!! But at the end of the day....if they'll do it with you, they'll do it TO YOU! He'll get his!!

Elizabeth always looked like John Edwards' enabling Mother. Their "marriage" sounds like it was always a big mess.

Is Rielle collecting child support from multi-millionaire John Edwards?

If not, why not?

"“There is no doubt that he changed the race on the war, on health care and on challenging special interests and lobbyists."

What malarkey! Edwards, the rich ambulance-chasing personal injury plaintiff's lawyer. Ha!

But, he's about the best the Dems can do in representing the "little guy."

I'm actually surprised their marriage survived. The death of a child usually ends even good marriages. The death of their 16 year old son, Wade several years ago had to strain even the best of unions. Anyway, I think Rielle's kid looks like him. If I were Elizabeth, he would pay the price behind the scenes. It's something I'd never let him forget. They need intensive counseling.

I pity her, but it's yet another book I would never buy or read. As for Edwards, he'll always be the Breck Girl to me. Just a goof and a buffoon. I can't believe anyone took him and his candidacy seriously. And yet he would have been better than the fraud and con artist we've got now.

Doesn't anybody wonder who REALLY blew the whistle on him?

Whew... glad we dodged the bullet with that bimbo from Alaska!

Sorry Elizabeth but it's you and your husband that are the pathetic ones. I highly doubt this woman was your husband's first affair.

The Edwards need to stop making excuses for their poor choices. They've got enough money to live the rest of their lives without earning another penny. They need to buy a local restaurant and go away.
