Sources have told WRAL News that they expect former U.S. Sen. John Edwards to admit that he is the father of his former mistress' 18-month-old daughter.

Edwards, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate, confessed last August to having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who served as a videographer on Edwards' 2008 campaign. He has denied fathering her daughter, saying his relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived.

Is that the tradeoff so that he doesn’t get indicted over campaign fraud by using funds to payoff the mistress?

But will he win another award?

John Edwards awarded 'Father of the Year'
Democrat received honor about 8 months before alleged love child born

Where was John Edwards around the time his alleged "love child" Frances Quinn Hunter was conceived?

The senator was in New York – receiving his Father of the Year Award.

Edwards accepted his June 27, 2007, honor from the Father's Day/Mother's Day Council exactly eight months before the child was born Feb. 27, 2008, according to a birth certificate obtained by the Charlotte Observer.

Before beginning his Father of the Year acceptance speech, Edwards told an adoring crowd, "I hate to admit it, but I am not the best parent in my family. ..."

It’s amusing to see all his lies unravel.

Everyone KNEW this before the DNA test. The little girl looks just like him.

Besides he earned “Father of the Year” in more ways than one.

Here, have a laugh ->

I’m glad this child will have a legally acknowledged, financially responsible father. It’s far better than having rumor & innuendo haunt this poor kid.

Does John’s wife know about this?

WHen she’s gone, maybe then this little girl will get a fair shake. I truly feel bad for the little girl. None of this was her fault. The little girl is the victim here.

At least the daughter HAS a Birth Certificate - unlike the occupant of the White House.

Mom’s a whack job flower child.
Dad’s a scum sucking lying lawyer/politician.

Talk about a bad gene pool.....

Then again, children have often overcome difficult situations to prosper.
