(CNN) – Former U.S. senator and Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards admitted to an extramarital affair in an interview with ABC News, the network reported Friday. He denied being the father of the woman's child, as had been alleged in tabloid reports
Asked by a reporter late last month whether he had provided any financial support to Rielle Hunter, or to Andrew Young — the former Edwards aide who claimed paternity of the child — Edwards replied that "I have no idea what you are asking about, I have responded to consistently to these tabloid allegations by saying I don't respond to these lies." He also said again that he had not lied during his presidential campaign when he denied an affair with Hunter.
Wow.

AP report says he was having the affair while is wife was battling cancer.
If true... congratulations, John Edwards, you've earned a lifetime membership in the "Human Piece of Crap" club.

So I suppose this eliminates Edwards from veep consideration???
Was his staff banging her too, or did he talk one of them into taking the paternity fall for him?

His choice of professions pretty much earned him that membership.

I didn't think Edwards was ever a serious candidate. Remember, the Republicans have managed to successfully brand him as hypocritical populist who cares more about his hair than policy. Even if it's just a bunch of crap, I think it managed to stick.

Was hoping he'd be a VP pick. Now.. meh. It's out the window. And he won't be Attorney General now either. Really, really sad day. The bigger issue is Elizabeth and his family. I'm shocked, still.

Because he had nice things?
Nate Silver is projecting a 296-241 victory for Obama. He's on "Countdown" now.

I was thinking steeper than that. Closer to 325-213. Of course, I'm just being a wishful thinker.

Well, I wish he would win 538-0, but that's even deeper wishful thinking.
