I think that Elizabeth is the one who will decide if she needs her husband by her side or out on the compaign trail.

Maybe in the 18/19th century campaigning might have been difficult, but I am sure John can afford the plane trips to get from here to there.

I don’t think people will vote for John just because of his wife.

John Edwards is a very smart person, and maybe if he had been running for president before he might have won.

Elizabeth and John Edwards are demonstrating to the world and to their children that you do not have to give in to discouraging news.  They are demonstrating that while cancer has the attention of their family, that it will not be permitted to consume their lives and chart their course in life. 

I am not sure they are fully aware of the fight ahead of them, but from my personal and ongoing experience with a beloved family member, whose breast cancer has progressed much like Elizabeth’s, I can state from first hand knowledge, an incredibly difficult battle lies ahead for them.  No one can tell you what it is like, and no one can fully understand unless they are living the experience.

I will hold up Elizabeth in the white healing Light of God’s love on a regular basis and pray for the entire family because when a family member has cancer, the entire family is profoundly affected. And I hope others will support them through prayer and by sending positive thoughts to them.

oh ??? i crossed the line i spoke of the dead in front of the children ??? sorry, that’s going to be Edwards new sales pitch, regardless of how sad, or heroic. Elizabeth’s story is !!(I’m pulling for her) its now, I’m running for pres. the wife has terminal cancer !!! that’s a fact

-Ignoramus illiterate;  A-HOLE.

“Hello my name is John Edwards, somewhere in America an 8 yr old girl is going to bed hungry, my wife has terminal cancer; please vote for me”

Ignoramus illiterate;
Your comments show just what kind of person you are—a weasel. You’re not interested in discussing politics; you’re only interested in pointing out that you’re an A-HOLE.  Why don’t you contact Ann Coulter, she might value your deviant mentality.

Oh well !!  now when Edwards gives the same speech he has been giving for the last 5 yrs , he can add another emotional line for the bleeding heart libs !!

“Hello my name is John Edwards, somewhere in America an 8 yr old girl is going to bed hungry, my wife has terminal cancer; please vote for me”

What a bitter sweet story, it’s heartbreaking to hear that Elizabeth Edwards cancer resurfaced, however, today’s press conference revealed what a spectacular relationship the two of them have.  How refreshing to see a political couple, that truly respects and admires each other.  How uplifting to see a couple married for 30 years, and is still not only in love but is best friends. 

Character counts, the moral fiber of some of the other candidates is revealed by their actions. Who could trust a candidate who humiliates their spouse publicly and considers marriage nothing more than serial monogamy?

It’s too bad that MSM has chosen to play-up the Obama, Hilary rivalry while neglecting to cover Edwards with the same vigor—-sadly, that is the nature of this dismal electoral process—-we never get to hear each and every candidate; there is never a series of serious debates—-just the usual superficial press coverage more concerned with marketing a product than informing the public.

Dear Sen. Edwards,

Please keep going on. Our nation needs all brave men like you. We all wish you and Elizabeth all our heartfelt compliments and lucks.
