Edwards supporters (and anyone else) a nice photo of John
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 10:48 PM by Catch22Dem
I should say, for those who don't already know, this is a picture of John with his son Wade who was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 16.

1. Excellent parenting when you supply an infant with a blue fooler and not a red one.
Terrific photograph.

Thank you.

17. John must have an ugly painting locked away in his attic.....
cause the man hasn't changed much since this picture was taken. Anyone remember Dorian Gray? That's a gorgeous picture.

46. I know....Elizabeth is such a lucky lady
Although she's a very accomplished woman, she has a man who has EVERYTHING. Looks, smarts, passion & a caring soul. With all his attributes, he could easily be a selfish Repuke, but he cares about people much less fortunate than himself.

I guess you can tell, i just love him.

24. What a great picture.
:loveya: Thanks for sharing.

There's something about this picture - besides the obvious tragic overtones of Wade's untimely death, of course - that I just couldn't put my finger on at first. Then I realized...in this picture, John looks a lot like MY dad (about 20 years ago). :D I have this picture in my room at home of my dad holding me when I was a baby, and I don't know if it's the hair, the flannel shirt, or what, but there's something about Mr. Edwards in this picture that reminds me an awful lot of my dad back in those days. :) It's kind of weird, but it's also kind of...nice, in a way, I guess. :shrug:

26. It is a nice picture
and I am supporting Edwards but for those of you who said what a good daddy - what in god's name in this pictures shows that he is a good daddy - why because HE is changing a diaper PLEASE - if it was Elizabeth changing the diaper would you say ohhh ahhh what a good mommy - if you knew nothing else about John Edwards this picture doesn't say too much....certainly NOT that he is a good daddy.

39. 20 years ago it still was a novelty
for a Dad to change a diaper. My father has never changed a diaper in his life and it really wasn't until my generation that fathers became more inclusive in the day to day care of their children.

40. Oh trust me I know that
and my brother-in-law use to - I swear to God - use to say to me when my niece and nephew were infants - hey want to hold the baby - and almost every time the baby needed to be changed. I laughed my butt off a few years ago when my nephew got married and his father was holding my niece's baby and handed him over to me because he needed to be changed - 25 years later - only thing that changed - except the diaper - was at least he admitted WHY was handing off the baby. It is just a pet peeve of mine because when men did start getting more involved in child rearing people would ooh and ahh when a dad changed a diaper - oh what a good daddy - no he is doing what he is SUPPOSE to do....

Judging from the background of that picture, I say John is much better than the other candidates because he's a cat person, too!!! :)

33. Excellent photo of a "white male." -- At least I think that's what
he's called.

And a nice white baby too.

I wonder if they can dance like black people?

38. I hate him.
The man hasn't aged AT ALL! WTF? I commented last night, during the debate, how young he looks and how he doesn't have one freakin' wrinkle on his face. It's so unfair.:)

That is a precious picture. It's not surprising to see him changing a diaper. He has always struck me as an involved dad.

Thanks for posting this! Baby Wade...was so adorable!
