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."
>>He wasn't going to get the nomination anyway. His best chance was to repeat as VP.
agreed on that, and prayers for Mrs. E.
Prayers for the Edwards family.
Prayers for the Edwards family.
Prayers for them all.
OMG! Prayers for Elisabeth Edwards! No woman should have to go thru this! I feel so bad for her!
He's doing the right thing.
We made fun of Edwards for some of his personal foilbles, but in this case he has his priorities in the right place. He is to be commended for a praiseworthy decision.
Prayers to the Edwards family and may God keep Mrs. Edwards and restore her to full and complete health.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Not that Edwards had a chance in hell of winning, anyway.
I doubt that the case here.
Prayers for Elizabeth Edwards's quick recovery.
My prayers are with Mrs. Edwards and the family. Breast cancer hit my family 5 times. However, my mom is a 18 year breast cancer survivor.
Prayers.
Horrible news. Let's hope she beats it for good this time around.
Please, please, please refrain from confirming a caricature of conservatives preemptively.
I'm very sorry for Mrs. Edwards and family, and I hope she recovers her health.
On another note, I wonder why their "friend" leaked this information, when Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are supposed to be holding a press conference later today.
I hope Ann Coulter takes your advice.
As are mine.
Edwards did the right thing. Does anyone think Hillary would drop out if Bill had another heart attack? Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Edwards and her family.
Show a little more class than you accuse the liberals of having.
You don't know that. Why don't you just give them a break today?
