speculation. I am dealing in what actually happen and what we can see of Edwards character from what happened--the totality of what happened, not just the fact of extra marital sex in a vacuum.

I don't know what you mean about whathername. Do you mean Rielle or however you spell it? If so, she was not the one who exposed him (so to speak). The National Enquirer had been following him around. They even confronted him during his primary campaign and he denied it, more than once.

As far as the Democratic Presidents, I cannot help that, but Edwards was never President anyway.

I can tell you that, while we all know cheating is not nice--even those of us who have cheated ourselves know that (I assume)--I don't think Clinton and Monica was anything near as bad as this, although Gore might beg to differ. If JFK was on a date while his wife was delivering and again when she was miscarrying, that would have been bad, too, but still not as bad as this. Besides, I think Jackie got him right back with Ari on that cruise.

Did LBJ cheat?


Maybe the Republicans cheated too, but just never got caught. Supposedly, Eisenhower did. Would you put it past Nixon or Dummya? I wouldn't.
