    John Edwards is fifty 5 years previous. it particularly is not youthful. And John McCain grew to become into attacked for his affairs even while he wasn't working for president. John Edwards is in simple terms a cutting-edge tale. lots of his supporters are disillusioned because of the fact he grew to become into continuously speaking approximately morals and doing "the the final option ingredient". He grew to become into meant to be the main truthful and it dissapointed countless his supporters because of the fact an affair out of marriage is amazingly cheating. on an analogous time as a hardcore conservative i will say that his honesty with reference to the placement grew to become into fresh nonetheless. He brazenly admitted that he'd made a mistake and that it grew to become into completely his fault. He additionally apologized to united states of america and his kinfolk, an untypical reaction from a flesh presser in a concern like this one.

    Because Edwards wife is ill or recovering from cancer.It is the height of neglect to be unfaithful or leave a sick spouse especially if there is a chance of being cured.And not keeping control of yourself under such circumstances.We would feel the same if it were reversed and he was running for office.

    The Republicans really love to play up any mistakes made by Democrats and downplay any mistakes made by fellow Republicans. I personally find it distasteful. If what a person does behind closed doors is not effecting "we the people" why should it be made public?

    I'm going to guess because he repeatedly lied about it. And because he continues to misrepresent the outcome of that episode, and "miraculously" how he wasn't aware that she is being paid 15,000 a month by his staff, and, miraculously, how she "refuses" to get a DNA test about the parentage of her child, and on and on and on...

    Give us all a break about all this tripe.
