Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer, though, was a very public struggle. In March, she announced it had recurred but did not take the opportunity to end her husband’s campaign, standing beside him to urge him ahead.


“John was much more reluctant to continue the campaign than she was,” said a former aide who was present as they made their decision.

John was willing to walk away at that moment. She wasn't, even knowing all the risks that his affair still could become public. Why is that?
