The McCain supporters who criticize Edwards will be rightly lambasted as hypocrites, it's true...
...but is it hypocritical of us to shun John Edwards from our convention, yet give Bill Clinton a major role?

I don't think this scandal will directly hurt Obama and may even cause some collateral damage to McCain...but it might stir up fond GOP memories of Monica Lewinsky and Ken Starr, and that MAY hurt Democrats in general. I know I'm skating on thin ice for posting this here, due to people who rightly respect Clinton and John Edwards for their deeds...but might we have to rethink the Big Dog's newly-granted prominence in Denver?

It's a messy business for both parties, to be sure. Michelle Obama once said that a President should be able to stabilize his own household before trying to sort out the world's problems, or words to that effect. At the time, she was criticized for taking a catty sideswipe at the Clintons--but I'm starting to think that, regardless of who or anyone this remark was aimed at, she had a good point.

1. Damn! I don't understand why such talented men have to still go out and prove
something with another woman when there is so much to be lost when it comes to light. :shrug:

3. You are absolutely right...and this may come back to bite a lot of
pol's in the ass...mc cain, newt, craig and many more repugs to put here it would take all day...I'm sure they are too happy with this coming out.. and I'm sure that clinton needs this..I can imagine if she had got the nomination what adds the repugs could put out...showing clinton pointing his finger "I did not have sexual relation with that woman" with a picture along side of it with edwards mouth moving..
