29. I am sorry, but the linking of Rep. Weiner and Sen. Edwards is 100% incorrect

Dec 2012

The Edwards were a team. period. end. of. story.

the two things were in the no way connected or similiar.
Anthony Weiner was not running for national office and he was outed and resigned.

The Edwards knew the info together, and kept it silent while continuing to run for the highest office in the land, both knowing full well if it came out the moments before election day, it woould lead to a republican president and they attempted knowing inside information
to barter their way into a job in trade for his support.

Those are two major differences IMHO.

(now back to this tragedy.)
