He has a lot of people obligated to him all across the country.
If what we suspect turns out to be true that whizzing sound we hear at 12:15 will be resuming flash faxing around the country.

Very tragic. They have young children at home. Put politics aside, it's time for prayers.

The Silky Pony is such a sleazeball, cynicism is awfully hard to avoid. Oh, I agree 100%.
Of course he's terming it a 'suspension'. He's a lawyer to the bone.
To: Al Simmons
We can all criticize John Edwards for being a liberal political lightweight, but his devotion to his family is something that I have always admired - especially for one who is in the DC political arena where too many politicians look at affairs as 'perks' of the office... That sums it up, I think.

Very very sad. Prayers for Elizabeth Edwards and the family in the days and months ahead. May she be healed from this despicable disease and vibrant health.

I heard a rumor that she was posting anonymously on the DU boards to berate them for wishing Laura Ingram ill when Laura was diagnosed. If true, definitely a classy move. It's true. Her posting was very well done, but it wasn't anonymous. She was upfront about who she was. IIRC Michelle Malkin wrote about the episode in Unhinged.
Today's rumor is heartbreaking but I will not give up hope for her achieving another remission. As for John, I agree completely that it speaks very well of him if he is suspending his campaign because of Elizabeth's health.

All of my best wishes to the Edwards family. Too many people getting affilicted with cancer. God bless.Yeah, and most of the federal tax dollars are being used to find a cure for AIDs. Go figure.

I heard a rumor that she was posting anonymously on the DU boards to berate them for wishing Laura Ingram ill when Laura was diagnosed. If true, definitely a classy move. She didn't post anonymously. They knew who she was. I read that thread. Elizabeth Edwards is an active member of DU and doesn't post anonymously..
Elizabeth Edwards on DU
One would be surprised how many Dem leaders have accounts there.. it says a lot about their character to associate with those nuts (in her defense, Elizabeth Edwards did smack down the DUmbasses when Laura Ingram was going through her cancer treatment (the DUmbasses were wishing her-Laura- all forms of vile death..))

cynicism is awfully hard to avoid I agree. My first thought after "Why has this information come out now, in this way ... " was " ... because Edwards arranged it for some perceived political advantage.
It's a sad commentary on him and us, really. Him for being like that, and us for being dragged down by it.

I am thinking it must have come back big time. My thoughts as well. It would be impossible to stay focused if that were the case, and I could relate to the decision.
I have a cousin who is facing a similar situation where it spread to her lungs and brain. She is putting up a valiant fight and seems to be winning it.....But it takes everything she has and it is very hard for me to see her and all the battle damage she has sustained.

I'm very sorry to read the Mrs. Edwards is having this health issue arise for her again. I wish them both well.
To: kddid
This must be a terrifying experience for any family. Cancer doesn't pick political parties... I hope she beats this.
