Rielle Hunter Carrying John Edwards Love Child?
Gambling911.com ^ | 12/19/07

The baby is John Edwards! At least that's what a former aide to the 2008 US Presidential candidate, , Rielle Hunter (aka Lisa Druck), is claiming.

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.

Heading into Wednesday morning, the John Edwards Love Child story had become the hottest searched on Google Trends.

Bookmaker.com listed John Edwards with +700 odds of winning the Democratic nomination for US President, behind Hillary Clinton at -200 odds and Senator Barack Obama at +130 odds.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise for the 2008 Presidential candidate. Edwards becomes the first candidate to receive more traffic hits on the Gambling911.com website than Internet phenom, Republican Ron Paul.

"It should be easy to determine if the child is his," commented Gambling911 Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien. "If it is born with a full head of hair and none of the strands are out of place, it's John Edwards kid."

This sounds suspiciously like that trick Kerry tried to pull. Get everybody talking about an “affair”, stash the chick, wait for Republicans to take the bait, then whammo! - - right between the eyes. As in Hollywood, there is no such thing as “bad publicity”.

I hope this destroys Hillary more than Edwards. The Clintons are despicable.

The (alleged?) girlfriend/mistress has two different names? What’s up with that?

Well, for the Democrat primaries marital infidelity is a resume enhancer—although a same-sex affair would be even more popular with the Party faithful. And if she aborts the baby, Democrat support and sympathy will be universal: they like abortion even more than deviancy.
It might be more of a problem in the general election. But much less than it would have 20 years ago: the Clinton years deadened our sensibilities to such things and the MSM will parrot the Clinton Line that “it’s private” and “everybody does it.”

Let’s not forget - it’s the seriousness of the charge that counts.

Edwards should come out and say he knows the Clinton's are behind this and at least he is sleeping with a hotter chick than Hillary...

Apparently a few years back she woke up “enlightened,” and became some New Age guru/filmmaker/mistress.

If it were any other source than the National Enquirer, I’d think this might be an interesting scandal.

Hey, if it's good enough for the Men in Black, it's good enough for me.

Who knew and when did they know it? Dan Rather needs to buy documents and lend this story some credibility!

A repeat of the Presidential Election of 1884: “Ma, Ma; where’s my Pa?”

“Gone to the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha.”

Remember folks, this is a democrat. To them this makes Edwards a serious presidential contender... a real man and an admirable example for their little ones.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this event didn’t raise Johnny Boy’s stature to that of a god, even greater than Mr. BJ himself.

Now the question is....will they do the lib thing....and kill the baby? AND, will his bride “stand by her man.”

I don’t think I believe this. Edwards is an empty suit, but he is not stupid. While running for the presidency and knowing that everything is being watched by the Clinton slime team, having an affair with this woman would be incredibly stupid.

The National Enquirer revealed many aspects of the Clinton Perjury Scandal that the “respectable” media sat on.
