Exactly how I feel, he has plenty of Money, and they are both Attorneys. His Wife is doing this for him, in the notion that he will never get the chance again, and she could not take that away from him even if it cost her the rest of her life. I believe it is too early for them to be thinking straight. There is no way that a hectic campaign and days away from a sick wife and Young Children is good for anyone involved. They both sound unrealistic and a bit nuts. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and wait a few weeks while they have time to get off their heels from the punch in the stomach they just received before I will rethink their motivation. Right now it is just too early to make life altering decisions on such a huge dilemma. Right now he looks icky to me, and I never liked him before this matter arose.

Edwards is an opportunistic pig. Very soon her illness will become a campaign advertisement for universal health care. The irony is that there is no other system in the world where she would have received the level of diagnostic care she has received in recent days. If fact she would probably die before being approved for another round of treatment. (Ya know, gotta spend those limited dollars on people who have a longer post treatment life expectancy.)

I wonder how Liz would be treated with $200,000 meds if they were poor and we had the socialist healthcare he wants? Nevermind, it's for us plebes.

Why can't he be like the Goreacle, drop out, tour for Cancer causes with his wife... wouldn't that do a lot more?

Regarding the Edwards' decision.

I can see okay points on both sides...however, I remember during the 2004 campaign..and watched those kids being hauled all over creation, thinking that they must wonder when they will get any time just for THEM.

Now...their Mom has an incurable illness, and yet they STILL aren't spending the time with their kids.

I just think maybe both of the parents need to think more of the children...don't they deserve as much of Mommy as God gives them time for?
