| I will be honest with all of you. When I heard this story initially, my knee jerk response was: "Hmm, that's interesting. If she dies during the campaign, he could get a sympathy vote. That would be good for his campaign." Actually, from a campaign perspective, this could be really good for him campaign wise. However, knowing this could be a perspective and angle to see this story, I do not be grudge either of them for staying in the game what so ever. Obviously, she's not faking it. But her conviction to support her husband seems sincere. She wants to do it because this is what they do, and she probably knows as well as he does that this could boost his numbers. I doubt that it was a sole reason for staying in, but I can't help but think it probably crossed their minds, because it did mine. Not that something like this should be political capital. But, the reality is, is that in American politics, if you get the opportunity to sport some teary eyes and a sensitive subject, it's a great people please. The People love the show and Politicians play right along with them. | ||||

| Originally Posted by ballz2wallz Web site apologizes for Edwards report NEW YORK - A reporter for the new Politico Web site apologized for reporting that John Edwards was suspending his campaign for president more than an hour before Edwards said Thursday he was staying in the race. The incorrect report rocketed through the media before Edwards held his news conference announcing the recurrence of his wife's cancer. Some outlets used Politico's information; others steered clear. Ben Smith, a former New York Daily News reporter, posted the report on his Politico Web log at 11:06 a.m. EDT. Quoting but not identifying "an Edwards friend" as his source, Smith reported that Edwards was suspending his campaign and may drop out completely because of Elizabeth Edwards' cancer. "There was never any discussion of suspending the campaign," Edwards adviser Jennifer Palmieri said. She said the Edwardses invited about half a dozen aides to their home to discuss how best to tell the public about her diagnosis and their decision to stay in the race. Smith, in a later post titled "Getting it Wrong," explained how he had trusted a reliable source he had known for years. But he "unwisely" wrote it without getting a second source, he said. "When the campaign pushed back harder than I'd expected, I added that information to the original item, but that doesn't undo the damage," Smith wrote. "My apologies to our readers for passing on bad information." The Politico, a Web site with a companion free tabloid distributed in Washington, began in January with many respected political journalists. It was founded by John Harris and Jim VandeHei, longtime Washington Post journalists. With news organizations waiting for a news conference that it had known about for more than 12 hours without a substantive leak ahead of time, Smith's report proved too hard for many to resist. CNN cited the Politico report several times before Edwards' news conference, but pulled back when correspondent Candy Crowley said Edwards staffers were casting doubt on it. While MSNBC did not cite the report on television, the Web site MSNBC.com ran the information as a banner headline. MSNBC.com later apologized, saying it had relied on Politico "and a source who spoke to NBC." more here: Web site apologizes for Edwards report - Yahoo! News  | ||||

| Talk about free publicity. Heh. Then his wife is like "see my husband can be tough!" I am not a big fan of this edwards guy in regards to being president. I think the role of senator suited him well. | ||||
