Moment of Truth Nearing for John Edwards
The story of the spectacular rise and fall of John Edwards, with its sordid can't-look-away dimensions, is moving slowly but deliberately to its conclusion here in North Carolina.
Mr. Edwards, the one-term senator who came close to being elected vice president in 2004 and ran a credible campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, remains largely secluded at his 100-acre estate here.

Mr. Edwards, the one-term senator who came close to being elected vice president in 2004 and ran a credible campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, remains largely secluded at his 100-acre estate here.
But a federal grand jury in nearby Raleigh is investigating whether any crimes were committed in connection with campaign laws in an effort to conceal his extramarital affair with a woman named Rielle Hunter. At the same time, Mr. Edwards is moving toward an abrupt reversal in his public posture; associates said in interviews that he is considering declaring that he is the father of Ms. Hunter's 19-month-old daughter, something that he once flatly asserted in a television interview was not possible.

What a sleeze bag. John Edwards tried to make one of his aide to declare that he was the father. Now that he has his own version of a stained blue dress, he is about to come clean.

it is still his dear wife I have the most sympathy for, what he has done to her, the hurt he has caused her is beyond description.
I watched her in the Oprah interview, the only time I have watched Oprah, in many, many years.
you could see the hurt, as hard as she tried not to show it, it was there.
of course he is the father of this innocent child, many of us knew that without question,
as we know the truth about the present administration, we are not stupid.
he and he alone is reseponsible for his own demise.
too bad, how many have to suffer for it.

May Elizabeth Edwards enjoy a long life and defeat cancer. She will win her race and John is just a disgrace.
