I think it's sad that Edwards wife is really the politician here. Critics of Hillary have often said that she was a powerful force behind Bill but somehow Lizzie Edwards escapes that criticism at least for now.
All of our candidates are influential, extremely rich individuals who are only going to get richer if they are elected to office. Nothing says that a man is weak like having his wifey slay his dragons for him. John: I think it's time to actually have your wife declare her presidential campaign and you can be first lady. She is infinitely more masculine that you are anyway.

Hi Trica, I know you are a frequent poster, it is nice for us to totally agree on something. He is a snake oil salesman

John Edwards began using his wife when her cancer returned for pity votes. Now he doesn't have to, as probably the only votes he will receive is pity votes but on his own merits not hers.

If John Edwards was Presidential Material: When Elizabeth's Cancer returned, despite her alligance, loyalty and determination to travel with his Campaign – John would have put his wife's health, and their children's mother first and backed out of the race to support his wife 100%.

John is for John, that is very evident in his choice of priorities. I feel for Elizabeth Edwards. To be battling cancer for the second time and have such a self absorbed, unsympathetic husband must be heart breaking.

I was all set to again applaud her for speaking out against Shrillary until I see this blatant lie:

"Edwards is also speaking out without telling her husband in advance. She got into an on-air battle with conservative pundit Anne Coulter earlier this year, after Coulter fiercely criticized her husband. Edwards later told CNN that “I didn’t talk to John about calling Ann Coulter. I got on the phone when I was watching her.”

That is a lie bigtime, the producer of Chris Matthews show ADMITTED that it was a setup BEFOREHAND that she would be hammering Coulter, she did not just pick up the phone.

For all the goodwill you had gained from showing grace with your illness is out the window as it appears that this is an effort by the campaign to use you to hammer Clinton, because nobody would dare hammer back at someone who has cancer.

Typical of your husband, maybe he is channeling some spirits.

Obama is looking better for the Democrats each day.

She may be one of the few women who can credibly tell the nation clearly why HRC is not the woman who should be the first woman President. Tell us again, please, and again, and ...

If Elizabeth Edwards decides to run for president, I'll totally vote for her.

Mr. you are a lucky man with a good Women. As I see it you have the right stuff to be President.

Liz Edwards is pretending that she is running for President, not her husband! She is becoming Eddy's attack dog, like Cheney. He was Bush's attack dog in 2004. Liz is forgetting that by attacking hillary like that she is showing American people that Liz has no class, and she is very low. I suspect that she has a breast cancer. Did not she and her husband, Eddy, try to appeal people's emotion by revivivg the issue of breast cancer? "A man can die but once". Shakespeare- King Henry IV, Part II. Edwards died (metaphorically) in 2004, and his two America, poverty, hair cut for $1200 were the reasons that he will never be back. Never...

will his wife help his campaign? He's down in the polls so do you see him staying in this race? And would he be VP again?

Elizabeth needs to stop with the negative campaigning. Hasn't she figured out that it just makes people mad?

why isn'st gaining in the polls? i wonder?

Elizabeth Edwards is a loose cannon. She attacks Hillary (having to apologize previously), splits her husbands' campaign by publically announcing she is Pro-Gay Marriage (whereas John is pro civil union), and continues to feel as though she has something credible to contribute to politics in Washington.

How about the spouses zip-it and let the candidates do the talking? Or is this the REAL candidate in the Edwards' Campaign?

Mrs. Edwards, you should not judge others. How can you say, you are more joyful than someone else. Hillary has achieved tremendous success on her own, and maybe that bothers you. Me thinks thou doth protest too much. Fight the issues Mrs. Edwards, not your personal prejudices.

Does edwards really have a shot at being #1 at the DNC convention. or is he trying to be the VP pick again?. Will edwards be in this race for the long haul or will he be quitting soon?

John Edwards says, “You can’t control what she says..."

Loose Cannon (as defined by thefreedictionary online): One that is uncontrolled and therefore poses danger.

Putting Elizabeth front and center... Is the Edwards Campaign struggling to connect with women and thus needs to bring out his wife?

Does this also allow Elizabeth to become "fair game" since she is now speaking out about policy issues, candidates, etc?
