It looks like John Edwards will definitely no longer be a VP consideration.
Whether true or not about his California hotel run in with his mistress and child, he is probably out.
Waldo, thst shouldn't make a difference, Clinton did worse or at least more perverted acts than that in the OVAL OFFICE. I guess in Clintons case we just wouldn't pick his brand of Cigar for any honors. Clinton's defense would be his twisting of words, " it wasn't me it was the cigar that did". I better sign my name to this one as my wife wouldn't like this subject in a public forum.

Understand you are taking a sarcastic approach.
However, but Clinton was in.
No way Obama would name someone with this type of baggage.
He would be spending all his time justifying his selection and the news media would have a hayday.
Supposedly, one of the scandal sheets has photographs of some type.
>:( >:( >:( so we're down to more "mud slinging"
Didn't you know Flo? Politics is just one big mud pie..
I didn't really consider that "MUDSLINGING" the entire topic was in all of the Newsapers and on television in very graphic detail and very graphic wording.
Some time back it was discussed about how newspapers like to sensationalize anything they can get their hands on. Sells more papers. Gossip tabloids are a waste of ink far as I'm concerned. Newscasts are in the same catagory as newspapers, anything for a rating. Maybe John Edwards has had an affair, maybe not. WHO CARES ? ? ? >:(

so true so true. I reckon someone in the opposition decided John Edwards was about to get considered for the VP position and decided they needed to dig up some dirt to discredit him. People reacted just like they hoped. It worked - but again, that's politics. Personally I don't think John Edwards was even being considered or that he would accept if asked. And now I better get out of politics AGAIN. :-\
Anyway Waldo my point was that Clinton had affairs that were made public, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky and rumors of others while president and before his second term, it didn't keep him from being elected and probably wouldn't hurt John Edwards that much. Not Mud Slinging just making a point.

perverted? ;)
Here is Fox's version of what happened this past week.
I have not watched the news yet today, so don't know what play it is getting.

Well many famous men in history have suffered ridicule and sometimes defeat for their weakness.
If you wanta judge a persons qualifications by whether or not they had an affair you are gonna have to get rid of a hell of a lot more of em than just Clinton and Edwards! I care more about what they do at work than what they do in their spare time and yeah yeah yeah I know Clinton did Monica in the white house, bet he isn't the only one he's just the one that was retarded enough to get caught
I must say that I would expect the same kind of integrity from my president that I expect from my husband. That is fidelity is important, and is an indicator of the fiber of the man. This whole thing is moot anyway since Edwards has already said that he is not interested in the VP slot.
A person being considered for vice president will many times say he (or she) is not interested.
Like a female date sometimes, the political he or she will play hard to get when they are actually quite interested. ;D
This is true, but in this case I believe he wasn't kidding. Apparently he had/has other irons in the fire. ;D ;D
I also expect people to do right, as in fidelity etc., reality is they are few and far between and if you wait for one who does everything the way they are supposed to you are gonna be waitin a hell of a long time. This is a reality check here, people do things thay aren't supposed to, if foolin around is the worst they have done, it's kinda like this election, you have to go with the lesser of the evils.
Perhaps that should be the lesser of the two weevils! ;D
Lol
