John Edwards - have we been had by a trial attorney ?

The News Alert comes on CNBC - Bill Griffin, surprised, says we are to be told John Edwards (D) to announce his withdrawal from the Presidential race due to his wifes longtime, in remission, cancer condition - or to that effect..

The press conference commences and Edwards explains that Mrs Edwards went to the doctor because of a cracked rib (no mention of how that happened) and while there found that she had a spot on the other (right) side rib which after testing was found to be cancerous bone. She then speaks of it not (several times) being a problem due to it being in the bone and emphasising that with proper attention and medication, it will be no problem (and don't expect to see her in a wig) she won't be losing any hair!!!

The ("mini campaign rally/photo op"??) ended with a pledge to move forward (under intense hardship albeit)with the Presidential race for the GOLD with his ill wife in tow,who also pledged to do her part for the WIN!

I'm sorry if this sounds a little sarcastic but we're talking about an ambitious, very successful TRIAL ATTORNEY/POLITICIAN trained and experienced in the art of verbal fencing that eventually led him to Congress and now a run for the Most prestigious office in the world - a lot on the line here.

We've all seen the "sympathy factor" before! I'm not saying she dosn't have an illness, nor am I saying she shouldn't have our sympathy and best wishes. What I'm saying is that I beleive J.Edwards and his wife is milking her illness for all it's worth! She played it's severity (or lack of ) her self - don't expect to see her in a wig ! Wait and see !


UPDATE - Wednesday April 4th 2007

Yep, I knew it. Edwards announced that the cancer, as told by their Doctor, isn't as bad as they thought. Wow, this after the campaign sympathy funds come a rollin in - charlottins - How 's it feel to be duped?
