It's interesting that Shrum tries to smear Edwards as homophobic, when John is one of the more pro-gay mainstream candidates, and Elizabeth even supports gay marriage. While Shrum's a DLC centrist who couldn't care less about gays.

Hey, Shrum is a loser, literally and figuratively. What else can you say?

[marko95403]

Why would anyone listen to Bob Shrum - he has been a blight on every Democratic campaign he has ever advised. Sometimes I wonder if he does not really work for the GOP.

If you're a Democratic candidate listen carefully to what Bob Shrum says and do the exact opposite.

I am glad that Hillary and Obama beat Edwards in the primary. Edwards would have gone all the way with the lies. Have you googled his house in North Carolina?

His ambulance chasing bought a house Aaron Spelling would envy. I don't think poverty is costing John Edwards any sleep. He's been lying through his teeth, first about his affair and he has told a billion lies trying to cover up that he fathered a child and he is paying the mother via friends. He is a disappointment.

No, I don't regret supporting Edwards, although I was certainly wrong asserting that the country was "making a big mistake." I appreciate that John Edwards was the only major candidate speaking about poverty in America and how the country ignores its causes. His fall, however, is emblematic not of himself or his party as much as a system of choosing candidates that is so expensive and daunting that only those who are egotistically damaged will pursue the presidency. Obama is 1 in a gazillion.

I bet you regret supporting John Edwards now. Thank God he did not get the Democratic nod. He would have ruined it for the entire country. That baby is HIS and you know it. In Elizabeth Edward's book, Saving Graces, she thanks Andrew Young, (the fall guy in the Edwards baby scandal.)

How could Edwards run for president when another woman was pregnant with his child? He almost destroyed the Democratic party. Do you still like the guy knowing he is a compulsive liar?

Obama is next best thing to Edwards.

Pray for Edwards family.

[GBS1043]

Correct. EE is the most honest person to ever be in politics.

[gayzertube]

America is making a big mistake in not supporting Edwards as the front-running candidate. But what else is new? That's why this country has been driven into the ground. Voters still don't get it when it comes to choosing a president.

Elizabeth Edwards is a wonderful woman and tells the truth. Bob Shrum is a liar.

[4449911]

Elizabeth Edwards is always breath-taking.

She's got lots of truth & lots of beauty.

John Edwards will be a JFK type President

because Elizabeth is his RFK.

Long may she smile !!!
