    It looks like at least Fox News has similar questions. I’m also pretty skeptical that he has not colored his admission with half-truths, considering just how neat and convenient his version of the facts appear to be.

    It is actually this sentiment that I find most interesting about the fiasco. What exactly was Rielle Hunter doing in her ‘official capacy’ for the Edwards campaign? Perhaps the videos she shot will give some insight into how a relationship developed between the North Carolina senator and a fledgling independent videographer — and who is really telling the truth.

          Sure glad it came out when he wasn't a factor in anything important.
          I’m not so sure John Edwards wasn’t a factor in anything important, right up to his nationally televised admission. As late as last month, pundits were feeding speculation Edwards was being considered for a VP slot. Even here, in our unscientific HT poll, two out of 19 people still felt he was the best choice, not including our resident Edwards cheerleader, timkona. But few disputed Edwards was a lock for Attorney General under Obama. Now, even those prospects are withering on the vine.

          More recent reports appear to support Frankie’s Market, who contends Edwards’ political career is over. In addition to Rielle Hunter’s close confidante, as well as Hunter’s own sister, publicly accusing Edwards of continuing to lie... Edwards is now being hammered for what appears to be a $14,000 payment made from an Edwards PAC to Rielle after her employment with the campaign had ended.

          Hush money?

              Why is it that Edwards' political career is over and not McCain's too? McCain admitted that he had an extramarital affair (with his current wife) while still married to his first wife. I don't get it. I'm not casting judgement, just trying to be logical.

                Hey, if Clinton can fool around, so can Edward and McCain.

                  I respectfully disagree. It sets up the question of Trust. If someone is lying about sexual infidelity, what else are they lying about?

                      We're talking about politicians here, folks, not your spouses/partners.

                      You'd be foolish to give them your trust to begin with.

                        Why do we need a Vice President? We have a King already. I've seen him on Live, Local, Late-Breaking!

                          The answer to your question, IMHO, was thoroughly outlined more than a week ago, in post #47. And unlike in McCain’s case, the issue raised in post #54, further frames the issue as unresolved.

                              I assume "them" refers to politicians...not spouses/partners!

                              But, we all aren't politicians entrusted with the fate of an entire nation. Trust matters. See timkona's quote above!

                                Joe Biden said today "I'm not the guy".

                                He could have said "no comment". I guess he is out then.

                                Putting two *young* people on the ticket could help the VP's future if he/she runs for President eventually.

                                Is Jim Webb from Virginia been taken out of consideration?
