He has a big 12 o'clock new conference.
Any guesses on what it is about?

Signs are pointing to the fact that Mrs. Edwards maybe having a cancer relapse. Every check up in the past has been positive and they didn?t make a big deal out of it. Now she has a check up and they make a big deal out of it. Looks bad.

If this is a cancer relapse I would expect that Edwards will take this chance to withdraw from the race to spend more time with the wife.

Andrew Sullivan put it best:

He does it because his wife has a recurrence of cancer in some degree to be further explored. It is of a piece with his character to do this; and a simple testament that he has the right priorities and values to be a president of the United States. Sorry, Ms Coulter. But this man will be remembered for a character you do not even want to possess.

So he is going to continue with the campaign.

Most people DO NOT survive a second fight with breast cancer.

Hahah! Even Pol Pot or Hitler look like Jesus next to Ann Coultergeist. I've literally not met a conservative who didn't think she was an embarassment or worse. And that is a credit to American Conservatives!

Seriously, it's possible that Ann Coulter is secretly a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad by association! I cannot even begin to describe her utter worthlessness as a human being in every regard, her absolute stupidity and reprehensible presence. Disgusting.

Not to demean her medical condition but he will be toast if she suddenly recovers before the campaigns kick into high gear and he runs again

It is sad that he has to go out for this reason. But we all knew he wouldn't last anyway.

Politics totally aside.

He should drop out of the race and spend every minute enjoying life as best as possible with his wife and family.

the story wasn't availble when I posted... so.... your point was... oh yeah, inane as always.



since he is still running I hereby declare "I think he is a slimeball" using this to win the sympathy vote. Gotta do something when people just remember you for being Ann Coulter's whipping post... or that 28K foot thing you call a house.

Oh man. In the bone and possibly in the lung?

I saw the tease for this on Drudge last night before I went to bed. (Probably 6am for you east coasters) I thought it was going to be something like this but I didn't know it was going to be this bad.

Sadly, this is one time where Dave is 100% right.

Just when I thought you couldn't be a bigger bastard you exceed my expectations. He pales in comparison to you.

She is a sensationalist in the mold of a Michael Moore. They may contain values of their puported ideologies, but they like to make outraegeous statements to sell books and movies, and in the process tarnish the very ideology they claim to hold.

These type of people cater to the fringe of either side of the spectrum's with a niche msg that will sell enough books and movies to make them rich. Think of them as the msgboard troll who got off the msgboard and nor trolls in the real world.

Do humanity and end yourself. You have absolutely no rationalization for your own existence.

Excellent points :) I think you are 100% right about the sensationalism, and the tarnishing of what they supposedly support and stand for. There's not many worse feelings than having someone on your 'side' who is an utter whacko, or who frequently says things so preposterous as to be a liability and an embarassment. I have many very close friends on the right side of the political spectrum, who are very intelligent, articulate, and even compassionate, and I cringe when I hear Coulter verbally crap all over everything with that anus of a mouth she has. Ditto M. Moore for the most part. Whatever interesting points or perspectives he might have are largely lost under echoes of hysteria, sensationalism, and more than a few pounds of distracting blubberage :)

Cheers from the middle or slightly left thereof ;) :beer:
