Feds Search Edwards Campaign for Affair Cover Up

.... those same voters who are now sorry they voted for Obama. I know as I am one of them!

"Hillary Clinton's pollster during most of her 2008 campaign, Mark Penn, suggested that the outcome of the Democratic presidential nomination could have been different without Edwards in the race."----Hey, the race would have been in Hillary's favor if Edwards OR Obama had not run. Obama gave her a job, right? So what's 'changed?' She should be complaining about Obama have the same old politicians in office as being against his 'change' slogan and demand that she be fired.

Ben, Maybe you didn't vote for either, afterall Sen. Clinton is President Obama's Secretary of State. and....you say they were different?

just because she's ill doesn't make Elizabeth Edwards a sympathetic figure in this sordid story - she went right along with the program, fake smiles and kisses at every campaign stop and looking oh-so-lovingly into her cheating husband's eyes the day they announced (after a 3-day media buildup for maximum campaign effect) that YES her cancer had returned

that she hasn't kicked the Breck Girl out of her life shows she's as much a hypocrit as he is ... I wonder what her angle is with this book now (there has to be one)

doesn't she realize the country just wants the Edwards family to go away permanently? yes, that includes her!!

SOUTHERN MEN cannot stand John Edwards, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and probably GWBUSH and McCai- now for we have long seen them as liars who pander to liberal groups at the expense of the hard working southern man.

Lock him up and throw away the key. And please, please, please do not allow him to communicate to any of the outside world. Save us his BS

I would imagine that the angle with the book is to put some money in the bank. I don't see people begging him to come speak for money so the income level is finally down.

He should have never ran for POTUS this time. Only a moron would think that with the National Enquirer sniffing around that he could get away with this. If he had stayed out of it and laid low for a few years, he probably could have come back around 2016 and ran and no one would have mentioned it. It would have been old news by then.

Of course, the INTELLIGENT thing to do if you want to be POTUS is to keep your pants on in the first place.

"Some Democrats are furious that Edwards ran knowing that news of the affair could become public and impact Democrats' hopes of capturing the White House."

Yeah, right...the media covered it up until after the primary, and that is a fact.

The sad fact is the media was lied to as well as the public, and they don't care, because the shilled for Obama.

The NYT lent cover to their excuse not to run the story, even thought they knew the truth long before the Dem. primary.
Because it was the National Enquirer that broke it, the NYT could say 'we don't reprint tabloid stories', or, 'it isn't confirmed'.
It measn that any time a tabloid breaks an important political story that disfavors Democrats, the NYT and other MSM can ignore it until the politician themselves admit it.
Sad.

I had a lot of respect for the Edwards family until this. I was shocked that Mr. Edwards had such a affair while his wife was sick, however I lost most of my respect for Mrs. Edwards after she took him back, no matter what she has, that doesn't mean she must loose her self respect. He made a fool out of her, and she let him.

Genuinely nice guy. Probably the coolest thing about him is he bucked the trend that you are usually a lawyer to be a congressman.

Opps! That was for Jack Kemp, not sleazy John Edwards. My bad!

Two things
1.Behind that innnocent smile and the $500.00 haircut there a liar playing the "honest" man suit.
2.Behind the same smile and $500.00 haicut there is a crook stealing money to pay for his lies and sins.
Lesson: trust no one, polititians are all the same. Just look at the Congress and see how many have broken the law and STILL holding the seat, pointing fingers at everyone but themselves

god knows elizabeth doesn't need any more stress, but why the hell didn't she give him an ultimatum? drop out or i'll fry your ### and cart out rielle for the media to talk to! she should have done that. bow out at the carolina inn, make him end the affair (and obviously the baby is HIS! DUH!). so this affair went on for close to 2 1/2 years and he was supporting the baby or still is secretly while the bimbo rielle traveled the country trying to escape the media. he's still lying. thank god he cannot run for office again. can i get my money back i sent into the campaign? that's what i want to know. $500 is a lot of money for me. if it went towards that woman's bleach job, then i'm ######.

Hey ABC, good job keeping this story out of the main news.

Gotta keep the people loving Democrats and hating Repubs.

I am confused, this article is supposedly about Edwards affair and money. How does voting for Obama (and sorry for it now) have to do with this article and others.
