“I am convinced that Edwards is NOT the father of the baby. He would never have publicly proclaimed his willingness to take a DNA test if he had not ALREADY taken one. All that a DNA test would require is a quick swab of the baby’s cheek with a Q-Tip. That is probably why he met them at the hotel last month.”
It could be he isn’t the father, but since the baby will not be made available for the test Edwards is “safe” in saying he would take the DNA test. Might be he and Hunter have this all planned out.
It boils down to which of these options do you think is most likely:
1. Edwards said he would take a DNA test because he has already taken one and knows he is not the father; or
2. Edwards said he would take a DNA test because he knew Hunter would refuse to take one and Edwards is willing TO BET EVERYTHING on Hunter not changing her mind.
Keep in mind, if Edwards is the father, Hunter will be able to get a healthy percentage of Edwards' income for the next 18 years as child support, sell her story and exclusive pictures to a tabloid for a minimum of $1,000,000, and then sign a book deal and go on the talk show circuit. In addition, if Edwards is the father and Hunter is refusing to allow a DNA test because he asked her not to, then she can blackmail him for any amount she wants.
I just don't think there is any possibility that they haven't both had DNA tests run, probably without the knowledge or consent of the other. It was just too easy for each of them to acquire the necessary DNA samples and too stupid for either of them to make any demands, speak to the press, or refuse to speak to the press without knowing for sure the paternity of the baby.
