Probably waiting until convention week, to make the biggest splash. Olympic coverage will dominate the news for the next couple of weeks.
I'm not sure when this story first appeared with John Edwards name on it. I'm thinking some time in October 2007. Edwards was holding his own with Hillary heading into the Iowa caucus.
Hillary needed to stop Edwards, probably hoping his supporters would turn to her.
IIRC Edwards quit soon after the Iowa caucus in January, 2008.
The Hunter woman worked for Edwards campaign and according to news reports admitted she had an affair with Edwards.
Now Hillary has one opponent to fight against. Obama.
Knowing the Clinton's, their power,dirty politics, connections and money it would not surprise me to learn Ms. Hunter was working for the Clinton campaign to wipe out John Edwards.
Edwards may be paying big dollars to Hunter, it's also possible she was well paid by the Clinton campaign for a job well done.
The Edwards/ Hunter story will be completed just in time to do Hillary the most good at the Denver convention. There may be no reason now for TNE to print "The rest of the Story". Edwards political future is over. .
Just my HO.
