Sad, I know, but I have low standards when it comes to politician behavior. I think Edwards was putting himself first. He lied, and what made it worse was that he lied while running a campaign, AND he cheated while running a campaign. He lied because he wanted to get people to vote for him. That's pretty bad. Honestly, I'm kind of curious--whose conduct do you guys think is worse, Edwards or Young? Young was willing to lie about an affair, and in doing so, he subjected his own wife and children to public scrutiny which was based on a lie. He was willing to toss his family in front of the bus for John Edwards's lie. I actually find that a lot worse than anything Edwards did. I almost expect politicians to cheat on their spouses.

That really narrows it down as its not like he can hangout with hot women for no reason but he could hang out with a person who was "working" for the campaign to do videos for it with out too much suspicion. Remember who Bill Clinton got on. If he were just a congress person away from his home district not under the national spotlight he would have had more options but not as a presidential contender. What is really pathetic about Edwards is not that he cheated but that when he was interviewed by ABC news last year at his home on national TV that millions of people watched he continued to lie and it was so obvious that he was lying. Don't lie once you have be caught. Of course it is his kid. Why the hell would he be sneaking around to visit it. Even with the national enquirer showing the picture on the frontpage he still lied and said it wasn't his. It was almost worse than the Gary Condit interview in 200o. it actually is not that unusual, could he get models if he were single? yes but he is not, he can only get what was available and what he could get discreetly.

Looking at the woman, I smell trouble. I can't believe that two men let one dumb stick ruin their lives. Why didn’t Edwards or his aides see Rielle Hunter from 60 miles away?
