Why not spend as much time with their CHILDREN?? I don't get it. Running for President takes you away from your family for a ton of time.

I find it hard to believe that John Edwards would not be insisting to his wife that they stop this campaigning, not for him, not for her, but for the two very young children. There is almost no doubt that at some point they will be without a mother. Why not make the hard, courageous, difficult, self-sacrificing choice to spend quality, normal family time with their two younger children. Travel, volunteer at school, be the Brownie leader, coach the sports team, help with the homework, play games. If you want to carry on with your normal life, then make a normal life for those two kids. A presidential campaign is not normal, even under the best of circumstances.
