This certainly could help to open up the convention to a serious floor fight — the Clintonistas will be able to make the argument that the nomination should not be allowed to swing to Obambi due to the Edwards role in the campaign??

I think that anyone analyzing the numbers during the primaries and caucuses could make the case that Hillary would have won outright had Edwards not been in the picture — also, her ‘inevitability’ aura would not have been so easily tarnished if it had been a 1-on-1 between Hillary and Obama in those early weeks.

Floor fight....floor fight......floor fight..... tear the DNC apart!!!

Feb. 25, 2008. There needs to be a trust fund set up for his estranged mistress and his baby. A college fund would be nice. The baby has to have a modicum of equinanamous lifestyle consistent with his 3 other children...so,...a house, food, medical, insurance, etc. allowances for the baby and her mother is the only right thing to do. We don’t want them living in poverty with only 2 color TVs in their domecile. A gated community, one which accords the lifestyle she has become accustomed to having is prima facia evidence that Edward already agrees. I am sure there are other things,...like 1/4 of Edwards estate and all that that will entail. It needs to be done legally, so we need lawyers now.

You’ve got to admit, though, that the Klintoons’ invincible Oposition Research War Room failed in this case. How come? Does it have anything to do with the Pellican being in the slammer?

Now CNN has a so-called Republican caller saying “this can happen to any of us, this media attention is wrong, I think this woman may have set him up”

In the famous words of DC Mayor, Marion Berry: The B**ch set me up.

Nope. The Clintons leaked this story to the NE in October 2007.

Had John Edwards not dropped out on January, this would have been released earlier by Hillary.

The irony of this is that if the lamestream media did their job and knocked out John Edwards with this tawdry story during the presidential campaign, Shrillary would have been the nominee.

A Clinton pal now publishes the National Enquirer.

I'm thinking the War Room did its job.

Hillary is down but not out — the Hildebeast has been wounded but it would appear there is still a path to the nomination - especially since Obambi has not been able to “close the deal” with a majority of the electorate. Could be a lively time in Denver:

Could Obama still lose the nomination? (Maybe!)

I suspect either the Clintons or the mistress.

The coverup by the MSM to protect Edwards makes a good story. TH on MSNBC and CNN have been making excuses, claiming its because both parties denied it and other nonsense.

"An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she might be pregnant. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is indeed pregnant.

Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, 'Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!'

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of a Ferrari and enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them: 'Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.

I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life.

Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach-front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.

However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?'

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him. 'You gonna try again.'"

Tah Dah!

I say it was the mistress. The back seat is demeaning. I saw her on the tube tonight - she seemed like a bit of a bubblehead. I suspect she wanted the whole world to know about their “love” for each other.

"Somebody, somehow got pix of him inside that hotel room holding the baby"

yeah, but don't you realize that it was another man's baby, conceived in a different adulterous affair....... Edwards simply went to visit his one-time mistress surreptitiously in a strange hotel, after midnight, and was duped into holding another man's baby......

Yeah, I think I get it now......

Could be the mistress was sick of hiding and wanted him to choose...... but it could have been the ‘friend’ of the mistress who helped set up the rendevous and drove her there — maybe that guy decided that getting big bucks from the National Enquirer was better than being a gofer for the John Edwards mistress.
