"I am Quinn's father," Edwards said in the bombshell statement this morning.

John Edwards: That’s someone we haven’t seen or heard from in a while, but chances are, we’re going to be talking about him a lot this week. On Sunday, the onetime Democratic presidential hopeful and former senator confirmed reports that federal investigators are looking into his use of campaign funds in relation to payments made to Rielle Hunter, the former campaign videographer who had an affair with Edwards. His political action committee paid a firm affiliated with Hunter more than $100,000 for video services, but as the Charlotte Observer reported yesterday, the inquiry could go deeper into “a cluster” of...

DETROIT - The wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards says in a newspaper interview that the one-time North Carolina senator's extramarital affair has allowed her to focus on her children and issues such as health reform. "There's a lot of adjustment to make," Elizabeth Edwards told the Detroit Free Press this week. "When you mention trust, that's probably the most difficult hurdle." The Free Press interview, published Thursday, comes more than a month after her husband acknowledged in a "Nightline" interview that he repeatedly lied about having an affair in 2006 with a woman once employed by his...

Last nights S.C. debate was turned into the "Breck Girl's Pageant for Vice President". It was like a really bad reality show in which two daters, Obama and Clinton, were trying to work out their differences and right when it got really juicy the third wheel, Breck girl, jumped in to ruin everything. Why, may I ask, is the Breck girl still in this campaign when he has no chance of winning the nomination? The only reason I can see is that he wants to be V.P. Back when it seemed like Obama was going to win the Breck girl...

To Mr. Edwards, Mr. Kerry seemed unable to get out of his own way. He ignored Mr. Edwards’s warning not to go windsurfing, one aide recalled, which led to the infamous “whichever way the wind blows” advertisement mocking Mr. Kerry’s statements on the war. And in the end, Mr. Edwards concluded that Mr. Kerry lacked fight for not filing a legal challenge to the election results.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said if he wasn’t elected president, the population of African-American males is likely to either wind up in prison or dead. At an MTV/MySpace.com forum Thursday, Edwards responded to a question about inner-city kids partaking in violence by saying there was no “silver bullet” to fight the problem. “We start with the president of the United States saying to America, ‘we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America....

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards won't participate in a debate co-hosted by Fox News Channel and the Nevada Democratic Party, his campaign said Wednesday, as party officials tried to settle a dust-up over their partnership with the conservative cable network. Edwards' campaign said Fox News' participation was part of the decision to pass on the Aug. 14 debate in Reno, but it also cited scheduling conflicts. Online activists and bloggers quickly hailed the decision as a victory in their campaign to urge Nevada Democrats to drop Fox News as a partner. MoveOn.org Civic Action says it...

Berkeley, Calif. (AP) -- Democratic presidential contender John Edwards on Sunday called a janitors' campaign for better wages at the University of California, Berkeley, a continuation of the civil rights struggle that began in the 1960s. Edwards sounded the civil rights theme to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the clash between black voting rights marchers and police in Alabama known as Bloody Sunday. "This march for economic and social justice for the men and women who work at this university is a part of a bigger march in America for fairness and equality," Edwards said during a campaign stop on...

Sen. John Edwards is drawing a curtain on his U.S. Senate career this week with a tour of the state. He's billed it as a chance to thank Tar Heels and let them know "how honored I was to represent them." It seems a little curious. While Edwards made an earnest run at national office, conventional wisdom suggests that he might have fared better on the national scene than he did had he opted to seek re-election from North Carolina. Edwards is one of the state's best and brightest. He's a very successful lawyer and a gifted politician. His fiery...

Sen. John Edwards strode through North Carolina's courtrooms in the 1980s and made his reputation as a lawyer. His little brother, Blake, saw plenty of courtrooms then, too - as a defendant. While his illustrious brother won legal victories and earned millions, Wesley Blake Edwards racked up speeding tickets, license suspensions and impaired-driving convictions. In 1987, he served seven days in jail for driving under the influence. Three years later, he permanently lost his driver's license when he was arrested for driving under the influence for a third time. Despite being banned from driving, Blake Edwards was pulled over in...
