I agree with you. As much as I am unimpressed with him, I can understand why he would stay in the race. I don't think anyone who loves someone, would want them to hover around them dealing with such a disease, on a neverending basis. I think that normal, everyday life is what gets people through hard, dark times. Sometimes it is exactly what gets them through, Edwards is basically running for a job, albeit, a huge job, but if my husband stopped looking for a job, or working as normal, I think that would depress me even more than my illness.
I thought they LOOKED stunned. My Dad was on the receiving end of a cancer diagnosis that included the word "incurable" at the age of 62. It is a surreal experience.
Its all part of his strategy. He is way behind in the polls. I feel sorry for his wife and hope she can lead a long happy life and put up a good fight against the disease.
Maybe they'll make a movie about it. Oops! they already did! The American President
