Edwards To Make 12pm ET Announcement
John Edwards disclosed that his wife, Elizabeth, had breast cancer the day after he lost the vice presidency in the 2004 election. Now his political future may hinge on her health.The couple planned a 12 p.m. ET news conference in Chapel Hill, N.C., to discuss their plans, one day after visiting doctors who are monitoring Mrs. Edwards' recovery from the cancer.
Campaign officials refused to answer any questions about what the couple learned at the doctor's appointment or how it might affect Edwards' second presidential bid. Edwards had cut short a trip to Iowa to be with his wife but still attended a barbecue fundraiser Wednesday evening in Chapel Hill, their hometown.
What could this press conference be about? A few ideas:
1. Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned, and so John Edwards is dropping out of the race.
2. Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned, and so John Edwards is putting his WH '08 race on hold.
3. Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned, and so she is leaving the campaign in her role as her husbands political adviser.

Whatever the story is, clearly the Edwards family is suffering. Can't you lay off the politics for just a couple of hours and WAIT? Not everything needs to be a horserace game...

If it has to be one of these, I vote for No. 3. Please don't drop out, John.

If Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned, John Edwards would be a dog to do anything other than drop out.
