McCain and Guiliani both had cancer; why MSM focus on Mrs. Edwards
and her status as a person living with cancer and whether her spouse should give up his presidential ambition? When the two GOP presidential front-runners have BOTH had cancer (McCain- skin cancer on his face, Guiliani- prostate cancer)?

I would think that the health prospects for the person seeking office are more germane to the question of fitness to serve than the health prospects of their spouse. It's curious that Guiliani's/ McCain's health, the question of recurrance of their illnes, have not been discussed at all, while the Edwards' Family health crisis and decision to stay in the race has been dissected, criticized, analyzed ad nauseum in the MSM. When does Couric have a sit-down with them?

I wish both McCain and Guiliani good health. But if that's the conversation the MSM wants to have, bring in the GOP frontrunners.

1. Lovely point.
If Edwards was GOP and divorced his wife with breast cancer, they'd probably embrace him.
