Update: John Edwards Confesses to Affair but Denies Paternity

[NOVA Green]

National Enquirer + Internet blogs + Edward's various political enemies, does not equal a believable story.

I personally think that politicians' sex lives should not be a factor in deciding who to support for public office.... regardless of that this story sadly enough seems to be developing additional legs beyond just Enquirer rumor.

Don't care, Edwards is out of the political scene.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Probably not at the national level representing NC. In terms of cabinet positions, at this point his chance of becoming AG is now toast....

Well I'm saddened by the news but it doesn't really bother me much. I still like Edwards and think he would make a great Attorney General or some other cabinet position. I really doubt that this ends his career.

I doubt he'll win elected office again, Democrats can and will turn on their own. I could see him serving in a high level non-elected government position however.... it will take some time for rehabilitation.
