Sources have told WRAL News that they expect former U.S. Sen. John Edwards to admit that he is the father of his former mistress' 18-month-old daughter.

Edwards, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate, confessed last August to having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who served as a videographer on Edwards' 2008 campaign. He has denied fathering her daughter, saying his relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived.

Is that the tradeoff so that he doesn’t get indicted over campaign fraud by using funds to payoff the mistress?

But will he win another award?

John Edwards awarded 'Father of the Year'
Democrat received honor about 8 months before alleged love child born

Where was John Edwards around the time his alleged "love child" Frances Quinn Hunter was conceived?

The senator was in New York – receiving his Father of the Year Award.

Edwards accepted his June 27, 2007, honor from the Father's Day/Mother's Day Council exactly eight months before the child was born Feb. 27, 2008, according to a birth certificate obtained by the Charlotte Observer.

Before beginning his Father of the Year acceptance speech, Edwards told an adoring crowd, "I hate to admit it, but I am not the best parent in my family. ..."

It’s amusing to see all his lies unravel.

Everyone KNEW this before the DNA test. The little girl looks just like him.

Besides he earned “Father of the Year” in more ways than one.

Here, have a laugh ->

I’m glad this child will have a legally acknowledged, financially responsible father. It’s far better than having rumor & innuendo haunt this poor kid.

Does John’s wife know about this?

WHen she’s gone, maybe then this little girl will get a fair shake. I truly feel bad for the little girl. None of this was her fault. The little girl is the victim here.

hello Harley,
I think this test was due to a grand jury
investigation about him using
Campaign money for her care.
He may go to prison.
Love to see this pretty boy in a REAL prison.

He didn't have anyone fooled but himself.

He's a democrat.

His lips were moving.

Ergo: He was lying.

No kidding. Imagine having to go through life knowing your father was one, a two timing little weasel, and two, known as the "Breck Girl".

Yeah, I know. I don't envy her her father. Or her Mom either, for that matter.

I can pretty much agree with that. Her father is a first rate coward. And I’m being tactful.

"The Senator was in New York – receiving his Father of the Year Award"

He should have received the Ambulance Chasing Award!

Correction: He should have received the Skirt Chasing Award:

Really, the worst thing about Edwards is he is just another one of those A$$ Backwards DEMOCRATS who think that universal access to health care is a right but possession of a firearm is a privilege.

With the exception of FOX NEWS, don't expect to hear anything about this story in the MSM.

Anyone can see it is not nearly as newsworthy as Levi Johnston showing disrespect for the PALIN Family.

She is right. She will live through this and die when her time comes just like the rest of us will live our lives and then die when our time comes.

The Child will have to deal with this situation for the rest of its life as well.

i think it depends on whether or not John actively raises this child... if he does, i think that will change some aspects of her life in some way...

Hmm, sort of like x42 and the fat chick (although Monica was better looking than Hillary).

Dems are all pigs though.
Their power hungry wives tolerate a LOT.

Edwards is not the father and Obama is a natural born citizen.

You can take that to the bank with the MSM having vetted them both.
