I join with all those who are praying, and wishing Ms. Edwards the absolute best. Prayers also for her husband, and for her beautiful children.
I haven't been able to follow this whole thread, so someone may have posted this already. Elizabeth Edwards is a DUer, and posts under her own name. In her very first post she assured the DUers that she reads their site regularly, and that she and John appreciate their support. I wouldn't consider this noteworthy except that I have been lurking on DU for a few weeks now, and I have simply been overwhelmed by the truly obscene levels of hatred, vitriol, ignorance and immaturity that pervade the site. It is a supremely grotesque place, and I personally find it both odd and surprising that Ms. Edwards would openly confess to being a supporter of it.
Then again, maybe it's not so odd.
