Guess he's human after all. I'd be more surprised to find out which candidates didn't have affairs, Hillary included.

Wish he was still running. His policies were more for the average Joe.

I was wondering when we were going to have a Democrat do something Republicanesque with all their scandals.

WAY OVERDUE. I didnt think it would be John Edwards though.

The National Enquirer. Great.

It would have been nice, however, had John Edwards won the Democratic nomination or at least been named by Barack Obama as his running-mate before this scandal broke.

I don't see any implications for the wider race here considering that Edwards was never close to the nomination and wasn't going to be VP either. If anything, it'll just solidify the democrats' conviction that they chose the right person - good thing we didn't go with the white guy this year.

The best thing about this is we'll get a few weeks without having to listen to McCain whine and complain that Obama is too popular.

Regarding Edwards. If you get caught cheating, there are numerous other incidents where you weren't caught, for sure.

Have any of you seen a picture of the woman! Couldn't he at least cheat on his wife(who is dying of cancer!) with someone have decent looking.

I really feel for his wife, dying of cancer and her husband cheating on her with a hideous looking woman.

Ummmm. No, I was not responding to the clause you seem to think I was responding to.

While we are singling each other's remarks out for this level of scrutiny, are you homophobic? "Being of legal age" relates to clear-cut criminal law. Consenting homosexual adults seeking sexual partners in public restrooms, however, remains controversial. It involves constitutional privacy arguments, among other things. In any case, you seem to believe that because Larry Craig sought a homosexual partner, an adult homosexual partner, in a public restroom, that this somehow makes him morally lesser than a guy who sought an adult heterosexual partner while his wife remained at home, suffering cancer.

Looks like we have "race" and "gender" so far. Who wants to add "class?" Because it cannot possibly be a Democratic discussion without all three...

I am a little surprised.

Its not like I had any respect for Edwards. He seemed entirely unprepared and too shallow for the Presidency. But I didn't realize that he was a bad person on top of all of this. I have always loathed his policy and his presentation, but now I just think the man is complete douche.
