...DEVELOPING...

NATIONAL ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: JOHN EDWARDS LOVE CHILD SCANDAL!

The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER's political bombshell comes just weeks after Edwards emphatically denied having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who formerly worked on his campaign.

But The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is pregnant, but she is also living in Chapel Hill, N.C. in a gated community, just a few streets away from Andrew Young, who has been a key official in Edwards' campaign.

Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to sources, and she has been careful to stay out of sight during Edwards' campaign. A former Director of Operations for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was North Carolina Finance Director.

He left that job about a month ago — nearly the same time Rielle relocated from the New Jersey area to Chapel Hill.

In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby.

But others are skeptical about his claim and talk of a political cover up is heating up.

Reille, when contacted in person by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER, denied that she was Reille Hunter. Later, she hired a lawyer and issued a statement, saying that Young is the father.

But a source close to the 43-year-old divorcee says Rielle has told a far different story privately.

"Rielle told me she had a secret affair with Edwards. When she found out that she was pregnant she said he was the father."

Rielle loves Edwards and will do anything to protect him, the source said.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has obtained exclusive photos of a visibly pregnant Rielle and learned from close sources that she has been in phone contact with Edwards. That information has not been denied by anyone.

"Rielle told me while Andrew Young is a friend, she's not romantically involved with him," says the source close to Rielle.

MORE DETAILS WILL BE POSTED HERE LATER AND ARE IN THE NEXT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER!

You should both be ashamed of yourselves. Stupid, boorish, uncalled for comments.

Hillary eliminates one of her main rivals, especially in Iowa. So who gets the Edwards’ votes, the black guy or the white woman?

Obama gets the overwhelming majority of the Edwards vote if he drops out or dies. But, neither will happen and this is not big deal to the American Public in the 21st Century; unfortunately.

Obama gets the overwhelming majority of the Edwards vote if he drops out or dies.

Actually Obama's camp might well be considered a likely culprit. Clinton's camp would gain nothing but grief from doing this, and given the Enquirer's apparent owner's links to Clinton, whoever did leak it knew Clinton would be blamed first.

I agree with your assertion that this probably doesn't matter much, but the timing (perfect) intrigues me and makes me wonder if Barack Hussein hasn't decided to show the Clintons he can play hardball too. OTOH you could also argue Edwards leaked a fake story on himself since in terms of the tracking polls he would be the most helped by it if it's shown or believed to be false.

“OTOH you could also argue Edwards leaked a fake story on himself since in terms of the tracking polls he would be the most helped by it if it’s shown or believed to be false.”

But if it comes to be known that someone in the Edwards camp leaked the story, it would look worse on Edwards...

The National Enquirer is owned or run by a Clintanoid, I think??

I think it goes like this:

The National Enquirer is owned by American Media.

American Media is owned by Evercore Capital.

Evercore Capital is headed by former Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger C. Altman.

Altman is a good friend of Bill Clinton.

"And if true, remember all of the “We’ve got a secret” stuff mentioned by R. Novak and others maybe a month ago...people said “no way it’s Edwards”.. "

IIRC, that was supposed to be a sitting senator.

Edwards can’t blame this on the Republicans. They have ignored his candidacy. Hillary did this so that Edwards does not split the Democratic vote. She needs all the votes she can get to defeat Obama.

You're right, but I suppose it's possible some Edwards campaigner fed the story to a third party who then leaked it.

Who knows; but I don't care for this sort of thing even if it benefits my political enemies. She may be a hardcore lefty but Elizabeth Edwards doesn't deserve this.

No, Silly. Matt Drudge and John Edwards have a love child.

Oh -- Matt Drudge is "developing" John Edwards' love child?

Wait a second- didn’t we just have this discussion about 2 months ago? The same woman- except I think it was an affair- not a possible pregnancy.
