Is it just me, or does anyone else say to themselves "What is John Edwards doing with a frump like that?".

What should he do, leave her because she gained weight (probably after having kids)? This sort of criticism is not good, guys.

If there's something to admire about Edwards, it's that he didn't dump his wife (and kids) for a 115-pound model. He could have. And it appears that at least some of you think he should have. That does not speak well of you.

Maybe he's going for the pity vote. Pity the cute guy. He must be a good joe, to stay with a fat wife.

I just hope he says it in public.

Perhaps Mr. Edwards is not attracted by 115 pound (female) models. Perhaps his orientation is directed towards....

You nailed it.

Well, he couldn't really "dump her" since she has gained her weight since he was elected. She was actually thin when he was running for the Senate, but having a child at 50 is not gonna help you be a Victoria's Secret model.

Ridiculing her weight is childish and I might agree we shouldn't do it, except I remember what the pigs on the Left did to Katherine Harris, Linda Tripp, Paula Jones, Barbara Bush, etc. It feels great to hit back once in a while.
