I know that those of us that supported Edwards , all the way back to 2004, well, let's just say it was stunning realizing that he is a narcissistic jack ass....there , and I was being nice. It's unforgivable what he did to Elizabeth while she was battling cancer....( I don't want to hear any comments about he needed "intimacy" or some other such drivel....) But on another level we all never talkied about it, but he also took all of us for such a huge risky ride, like the person who drinks a whole bottle of Jack Daniels and then we all climb into the car...It was bound to be a very bad bloody ride and end very badly.... We all are Very Very Lucky that the National Enquirer did Investigate him....IF they hadn't - we could well have a President McCain and VP Palin.....yes, you may now go spew lunch....but seriously, it is the Truth....
Poor Elizabeth....I am glad that she built a Big House...that gives her space away from him....

Although Edward's had interesting platforms & policy proposals, it always bothred me that when his wife was dx'd with cancer, he went on with the 2ns presidential campaign.
Many told me they both decided that is what they wanted, etc-- and maybe they did-- but in my heart of hearts, it still felt wrong to me.
I doubted any person would want their significant other on a tour bus in god knows what town, spewing political rhetoric on a grueling schedule, while the other spouse was battling cancer home with the kids.
He'd already done a run for the presidency, and she needed him.
Anyway, I was relieved when he dropped out of the race & endorsed Obama.
Whatever happens now in the aftermath of his folly is his own karma.
I thought that this time around - in 2008 - Edwards really didn't come across as well as in '04. By the time all that stuff came out it wasn't as much of a surprise as it would have been four years earlier. I don't know if he changed or if more of him just came through, but either way, we were lucky that he didn't resonate so much this time. It must have been hell for Elizabeth.
Stranahan has an interesting read on this up at Huffington.. How Elizabeth was complicit in the campaign because she knew about the affair and went along with it and the campaign anyway... encouraged him to continue and basically perpetuated the lie all the time he was running.
Interesting to say the least.. He was saying yesterday that Reille, openly stayed with him on the campaign trail when Elizabeth wasn't with him, and staffers knew it.. at least of a couple occasions, staffers walked in on them in the shower together.. so it wasn't really all that much of a secret.. just everyone was quiet about it.
I don't know... I liked him in 2004 but there was just something off about him this time. I was following this guy named Obama.. lol and was stuck on him...lol
I was stuck on Obama since 2004...really...lol...but there were many that read this blog that were pretty big edwards fans....
okay I almost lost lunch on the shower issue - wow...what an ass...and he kept running - KNOWING that all of us would find out...no wonder Obama waited to meet with him for so so long - he was pretty dirty- tainted....
damn...poooooor Elizabeth...
