John Edwards is suspending his campaign for President, and may drop out completely, because his wife has suffered a recurrence of the cancer that sickened her in 2004, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, an Edwards friend told The Politico.
"At a minimum he's going to suspend" the campaign, the source said. "Nobody knows precisely how serious her recurrence is. Itll be another couple of days before theres complete clarity."
"For him right now he has one priority which is her health and the security of the two young children," said the friend.
As for the campaign, "You don't shut this machine off completely, but everything will go on hold."
If that be the case he will have to answer to a higher power. However, I believe he is putting his family first and it is the RIGHT thing to do. Mrs. Edwards doesn't need so much stress on top of all of this. God knows the campaigns are so filthy dirty anymore that I don't know who in their right mind would even ever consider running for anything.
Good grief.
Cameron on Fox is saying that everything we have heard so far is wrong, according to the campaign, which is saying it is NOT suspended.
We all wish the best for Mrs. Edwards and her family.I remember her standing up for Laura Ingraham when the braying moonbats were wishing pain and death for her when she announced that she had breast cancer.
"Is anyone watching the Edwards press conference and could you share an update? "
so far, it has not yet started...
FNC reporting that there have been reports that Edwards had canceled a bunch of campaign stops .. but then the Edwards aids are saying that is not true
So .. no one knows yet what is going on
I'm in favor of cancelling student lunch programs for the poorest American children.
Oh, and I'd like to extend best hopes and wishes for the Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards family.
Carl Cameron is doing a pretty good job filling time with nothing really to talk about.
That is an excellant point.
I don't think the masses realize that while Edwards would have the money to get the best care for his family, under socialized medicine people in general would have a much harder time.
At the very least, we should lift her and the family up in prayer. She is a child of God, as are we all. With his political campaign in suspension, he is out of the political arena, to the extent he is able. But right now, they are a family that is suffering and fearful of what the future may hold.
yes he is
Sadly, that was my first thought too when I saw this thread. :(
Prayers to the family.
The headline of this article IS about his professional career. It is NOT "Wife has recurrence of cancer". It IS "Edwards to suspend campaign".
Thanks for playing. Start your own prayer thread.
Yep, I'm watching FNC and listening to Carl.
That makes me wonder if Mrs. Edwards will be receiving her treatment in Canada, Sweden or the UK.
This is starting to get confusing. Drudge had the siren below his "Edwards suspends campaign" headline, now the siren's gone. Also, one would think Carl Cameron has his finger on the pulse of the latest in political news.
Amen!
a women came out and held up 2 fingers .. maybe that means in two minutes
BUMP to a wonderful idea!
