The newest Associated Press story about John Edwards says that the National Enquirer published a story regarding a possible extramarital affair .According to the tabloid story , John Edwards had an affair with a woman who worked on his campaign .John Edwards said that the story is unfounded .
Does anyone have a large John Edwards for President campaign sign from the 2004 election? My father worked on the local Edwards campaign in 2004, and he kept a large sign as a souvenir.Unfortunately, The sign was recently destroyed in a garage fire. The sign was very important to my father and I am willing to pay any price (any reasonable price, that is) to replace it for him. Can anyone help me?
Who is running John Edwards campaign? Him or his wife? I see his wife making head lines not him.
Is anyone else embarrassed for having supported John Edwards in the Presidential campaign? At one point, during the debates, I wanted a Joe Biden-John Edwards ticket. I don't care about Edward's sex-capades, but lying seems to be easy for him. Anyway, thanks to the majority of Democrats, we elected a much better administration in Obama-Biden. I was wrong!
Did you know that John Edwards has NEVER accepted campaign money from oil lobbyists? And that John McCain and Mike Huckabee have actually lobbied for them? Hillary lawyered for Wal-Mart but she tore up their token campaign check to her. wcowell2 - that is just lying rhetoric that he tells... He never voted for a troop surge that didn't include arctic drilling... look it up!
Why do people say that the John Edwards campaign for the Presidency is destined for failure? I believe that John Edwards has the least political baggage of all the top-tier Democratic Presidential candidates. The mainstream media media smeared John Edwards,because he paid $400 for a haircut. Hillary Clinton took more than $850,000 in bundled donations from Norman Hsu. Norman Hsu was indicted in 1991,but he decided to run from the legal authorities for 16 years. I know that Hillary Clinton gave the bundled donations for Hsu to charity,but she had no other choice. She was caught taking money from a criminal!! Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton voted for the Peru Free Trade Agreement which will decimate the Peruvian economy. Barack Obama voted against a bill which,if enacted ,would have made English the official language of the United States. I suppose that Barack Obama thinks that Greek should be our official language!!!!!
Are The Big Hair Care Products Conglomerates Funding The John Edwards Campaign? When will we be able to get Big Hair Mousse money out of our political system?
Did you know that the John Edwards campaign blog hired a couple real gunslingers? to work over the Christian right and especially the Catholic Church. Bill Donohue of The Catholic League got on their case and forced them to quit but, they were saying something about the Blessed Virgin Mary should have taken the plan "B" pill and stuff like that. How does this make you feel?
Edwards vs. Coulter = Campaign Cash...Should Edwards be grateful to Ann Coulter? ABC News' Raelyn Johnson Reports: With a dash for cash as the second quarter fundraising deadline closes in this Saturday, personal political attacks may be turning into a fundraising opportunity for the Edwards campaign. Following the war of words between Elizabeth Edwards and political pundit and author Ann Coulter Tuesday night on MSNBC's "Hardball", the Edwards campaign is turning the controversy into an opportunity to fill their campaign coffers. In an appearance on Monday's ABC's "Good Morning America," Ann Coulter said, "Oh yeah, I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. That would be mean, but about the same time -- you know -- Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished [Vice President] Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he has been killed in a terrorist assassination plot." "This is just a taste of the filth that the right-wing machine is gearing up to throw at us. And now that it's begun, we have a choice: Do we sit back, or do we fight back? I say we fight. Help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash", wrote David Bonior, Edwards campaign manager, in an email to supporters. The campaign also tried to turn controversy into cash last week after The New York Times ran a story about him using his poverty center for political publicity.
Why is the John Edwards campaign...? more concerned with the Catholic's stance on birth control (and subsequently condemnation of such) than they are with islamic terrorism? Seems to me it bothers them more when Catholics tithe than it does when muslims behead
John Edwards: Thursday, during one of his campaign speeches,? He said voters can't simply "replace one group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats, just swapping the Washington insiders of one party for the Washington insiders of the other." Presidential hopeful John Edwards said Thursday the Washington establishment is corrupt and suggested — without mentioning her by name — that rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has been part of that corroded system. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070824/ap_on_el_pr/edwards_change;_ylt=AvT.fT0dpnKuLqgp.6WgEc5p24cA Is he right, wrong? Is Edwards NOT taking any Corporate money?
is this normal behavior for a dem,,john edwards is campaigning on making the irs do taxes for people and fixin it so they can file online for free,, my question --are you thinking---this joker is fixing something that is already there--and he will some day tell you that he fixed it 1-has it not been that you could sign your return ,put your w2 in and irs would fill out taxes? 2- I filed online for last several years for free answerman, I see where you are a top contributor, but for the life of me I cant understand your logic, would you explain some why I should not be a republican
John Edwards Endorses....? Okay, so not too long ago today John Edwards "suspended" his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. He didn't formally endorse or support Obama or Clinton. Lately I've been leaning more towards Obama. I also read that Edwards would endorse the winner of the Democratic Primary. But who do you guys think he wants to back? Thoughts...?
Does anybody have know anything about John Edwards knocking up some other woman? I want to know if there are valid sources out there that indicate that the media completely buried a story about John Edwards impregnating some other woman and how his campaign swept her away somewhere in North Carolina... Anybody know anything about this?
Why do Republicans criticize Mrs. John Edwards campaigning for her husband? Elizabeth Edwards is an intelligent woman who would like to help get her husband nominated. What is wrong with that? Did they mistake her for a wimpy, weak woman? She's taking a lot of hits from conservatives!
Do you think Fred Thompson would make a good running mate for John Edwards? I know that Thompson is a registered Republican and Edwards a Democrat, but both are former Tort attorneys who made a bank off of representing clients for personal injury lawsuits. If you think about it, Thompson, is nothing more than a RINO. While in the Senate, he voted against legislation which would tighten up the ability to file frivolous lawsuits and against legislation which would limit attorney fees. In addition, he used to be a lobbyist for the Teamsters Union and supported the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance bill. John and Fred for President? What do you think? =For Vincefoster: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0607/4470.html Enjoy. I sure did.
Does anyone else think it is hypocritical for John Edwards to run for the Democratic party nomination? since the Democrats run with a campaign promise to reform healthcare, and John Edwards made his living off of suing doctors thusly driving the cost of healthcare up? http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20040816-011234-1949r.htm Please! John Edwards manipulated uneducated jurors into believing things we know not to be true. He's worse than a war-profiteer...he creates problems where none existed. There was no 'healthcare crisis' until the Dems started meddling in it.
Does John Edwards Opposes Free Speech? “Her outrageous comments are inexcusable and should not be tolerated in the public dialogue.” If this is ain't anti free speech, what is it? http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/edwards-blasts-coulter-comes-to-obamas-aid-2007-05-09.html
Am I the only one who thinks Dem Presidential Candidate John Edwards is selfish? If I truly loved my wife, I would put all my energies into getting her well, and if her condition is terminal, I would want to spend all our time together we had, instead of worrying about a political campaign. I feel so sorry for Elizabeth Edwards, but think John is a arrogant and self-centered.
John Edwards and Chelsea campaigning today in NC to young people,? do you think that Edwards is going to endorse hillary knowing that she will win NC? Do something besides post here all the time. LOL Keep up with whats going on out there instead of talking about that fake obama. the video is on yahoo politics videos since your too lazy to look that is the little girls i'm speaking to at the bottom. oh one might be a little boy can't tell
If you have campaign funds, would you use them to get a $400 hair cut, like John Edwards did? That's absolutely ridiculous to me, that he did this. Oops, sorry to admit it, but hubby had left the telly on FOX...
Would John Edwards be a good Vice President choice for Barack Obama? Considering the demographic divide that is being magnified by Hillary Clinton's campaign, would John Edwards, as Obama's running mate, appeal to the constituency that wants to vote for Hillary?
Does anyone else think that John Edwards reminds them of Robert Kennedy? I know this is silly to ask but, does anyone else besides me think that John Edwards reminds them of RFK? Based on looks and his "grassroots" campaign? Thanks.
On this issue, who do you agree with, Elizabeth Edwards or MoveOn.org? After Elizabeth Edwards took issue with MoveOn.org saying, “Someone who’s spent their life in the military doesn’t deserve ‘General Betray Us,’” influential progressive blogger Jane Hamsher posted an open letter to Elizabeth asking her to lay off MoveOn.Org. “Here’s the rule. You never repeat right wing talking points to attack your own, ever. You never enter that echo chamber as a participant. Ever. You never give them a hammer to beat the left with. Just don’t do it,” wrote Hamsher, expressing her disappoint in Elizabeth given the support the netroots has thrown behind her and her husband, John Edwards’ campaign. mtmegiddo, nice non-response to the question...try to wonder why moderates and conservatives can't take people like you seriously.
Is the Plantation Boy - John Edwards having trouble and losing sleep because his campaign is in the toilet? No surprise here......and Hillary has the nomination sewed up with Obama as her V.P. But we already know that this will happen. The real mystery is, will Condolezza Rice accept a V. P. request from the Republicans to run with Mitt Romney when he is nominated? Mitt and Condie will bury Hillary and her TAX the Middle Class in to Poverty campaign right in the OUT HOUSE! Go Mitt Romney the Election is yours.
Can John Edwards successfully make his case for the nomination? “Once and Always Trial Lawyer”? Can John Edwards successfully make his case for the nomination? “Once and Always Trial Lawyer” Francois de La Rochefoucauld had a point when he said, in his frequently quoted formulation, that hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. In the case of John Edwards, however, hypocrisy is simply a way of life. The infamous $400 haircut — actually, some of his hairstyling sessions ran as much as $1,200 all told — wasn’t a freak embarrassment for a candidate so self-righteously devoted to the poor. It was part of a pattern so pervasive that it has become the defining aspect of Edwards’s candidacy. When he lambasted hedge funds for incorporating offshore to avoid or delay paying U.S. taxes, what could be more natural than that he made nearly $500,000 for part-time work at the Fortress Investment Group, with hedge funds incorporated in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes? When he hit other candidates for taking donations from Rupert Murdoch’s media holdings, wasn’t it inevitable that it would turn out he had taken $800,000 from Murdoch’s HarperCollins for a coffee-table book? Or when he attacked subprime lenders for foreclosing on victims of Hurricane Katrina, he would have $16 million — half of his net worth — invested in Fortress while it was foreclosing on a couple dozen homes in New Orleans? Most of us uphold ideals that we can’t meet, but liberal populism shouldn’t be such an impossible standard. The late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, a liberal populist to his core, never had such embarrassments. The former North Carolina senator is experiencing a kind of toxic shock from his synthetic political persona. In 2004, John Edwards was Mr. Congeniality, for no other reason than that seemed the market niche for him in the race. Today, he is the angry populist, for no other reason than that seems the market niche for him in the race. He thrived in the Iowa caucuses four years ago as the fresh new thing; this year he looks like a version of Dick Gephardt, the union-pandering populist with the negative campaign. Edwards’s anger has about all the heft and seriousness of a five-year-old’s tantrum. All candidates fear making a gaffe in one of the debates. Edwards has to worry that Hillary Clinton will blow on him and he’ll float away — like Mary Poppins with her magic umbrella, carried off by the unbearable lightness of his own political being. If a paranoid theory were needed to explain Edwards’s candidacy, there are two, equally plausible options. Is he a plant from the Democratic National Committee designed to make Clinton and Barack Obama look impressive by contrast with his sheer insubstantiality? Or is he a plant of the Republican National Committee designed to pull the top-tier candidates as far to the left as possible? On the big issues of the day, Edwards specializes in can’t-keep-his-story-straight contrivance. Democratic consultant Bob Shrum described in his book “No Excuses” how his political advisers talked Edwards into voting for the authorization of the Iraq War in the fall of 2002. Edwards vehemently denies it, but also says that he didn’t express “the huge conflict” he had in his own mind about the vote, which makes it sound like politics played as big a role in his decision as his conscience. On gay marriage, he said that he opposes it because of his religious background, but then explained that it had been wrong for him to say that. He now offers no real reason for his opposition. Surely, the hindrance is simply that it is the most politically contentious item on the gay-rights agenda. Edwards says on the campaign trail that he can beat the special interests the way he beat them in the courtroom as a trial lawyer. Back then, how John Edwards lived and his past record didn’t matter, so long as he told the jury what it wanted to hear. Edwards still seems to think he’s in the courtroom, which is why he is so deaf to the jarring incongruities of his lamentable campaign.
If you had campaign funds, would you use them to get a $400 hair cut, like John Edwards did? That's absolutely ridiculous to me, that he did this. OK, guilty as charged. Hubby had left the tv on FOX news, so maybe I spoke w/out the facts.
Was John Edwards against 527s before he was for them? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071229/ap_po/edwards_campaign_finance_4
Do you think John Edwards was wrong to conitnue his campaign even after finding out his wife has cancer? Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, was diagnosed with a return - this time eventually terminal - of her breast cancer. Edwards pledges to continue his run. Do you think it will make the American people look down on him? Or do you support the Edwards' commitment to their campaign?
Will Barack Obama pick John Edwards to be his running-mate or his attorney-general? Since Edwards dropped out of the race,I have decided to vote for Barack Obama on February 5th.I have not figured out which role John Edwards will have,but I assume that he will endorse Obama and join Obama's campaign.

Will John Edwards be in Kentucky this week campaigning? Where? I heard John Edwards, Democrat presidential candidate, will be campaigning in Eastern Kentucky this week. I would like to know so my husband and I can go to this event. It's in our local papers, but no specific information. Thanks!
I cannot hardly believe John Edwards is going on with his campaign? Now his wife has bony mets from her breast cancer and she will no doubt be recieving radiation treatments. What is he thinking? Do you suppose he is trying to get sympatny votes or what? You would think he would want to spend time with his wife and take care of her, not run all over the country in a bid for the presidency.
Did you know that Rush matters to John Edwards? BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday we told you about the Edwards website. If you go to the John Edwards for president website, you get an opportunity there to send a sympathy card to Elizabeth Edwards, and if you did, you were put on an e-mail list where you then received solicitations from the Edwards campaign. (interruption) What are you laughing at in there now? You got some caller on the phone you're trying to polite to? All right. It must be one of those days in there. Well, what's happened now is that, since this has been made public, the Edwards campaign has decided they're going to give you an opportunity to be put on their solicitation list. Yeah, you were just automatically on it if you sent Mrs. Edwards a sympathy note via e-mail. "After being confronted by questions from reporters, the Edwards campaign said it will add an option to allow well-wishers to decline getting future e-mails." So why change it? I mean, are they admitting here that they might have gone overboard?
Why should anyone still vote for John Edwards? Although John Edwards has suspended his campaign, he is still on the primary ballot in Super Tuesday states. He can pick up more delegates and garner more votes. Who would this benefit and why?
Should John Edwards continue his Presidential campaign? I agree with the decision his family made and think we should support their choice. But I am curious about how others feel.
John Edwards? I am doing a project for school and we get to choose which presidential candidate to report on. My candidate is John Edwards. What are some of the tactics he used for winning during his campaign?
Edwards camp after the free press? RALEIGH, N.C. - A University of North Carolina professor said Friday that John Edwards' campaign demanded that he pull a student reporter's television story that focused on the upscale location of the campaign's headquarters. Is Edwads camp against the freedom of expression? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071028/ap_on_el_pr/edwards_student_journalist;_ylt=AinKri6KzhDCi9jS5dD5UQuyFz4D
Does anyone else notice the lack of chemistry between John Edwards and his wife? Have you ever noticed when he hugs her it's very cold and robot like. Even the Clintons and the Bushes have better chemistry. I just find it odd that when Mrs. Edwards announced that she had cancer again, John was intent on campaigning and taking a sick woman with him. I have family that went through chemo and fought cancer. You are NOT able to continue doing what you normally did despite what Mrs. Edwards says. I feel sorry for the woman. How do you feel about them? BTW...I am a DEMOCRAT and I have noticed this. Faux news? Right. Try watching the live press confrence that was covered by ALL stations, not the spin that was given afterwards.
