Edwards' Wife Ill, Campaign Continues.

John Edwards may suspend his campaign.  Right now it's all rumor, but his wife may once again be stricken with cancer.  Reports from his staff indicate that no decision has been reached, but if the rumors are true then Edwards will most assuredly be out of the race...

...unless I'm completely wrong.

So it seems Edwards will stay in it and his wife will get treatment.  I would hope that they caught it early enough and her life isn't in much danger.  Not because I want Edwards to win or even to stay in the race, but because I'm not a total moral degenerate. 

Now, how is he going to avoid playing the sympathy card?  If he plays that card then he is toast.  His opponents will question his ability to focus on the office, and he will look callous for continuing to run while acknowledging the difficulties of his wife's cancer.

This leads me to believe that Mrs. Edwards has probably got a decent prognosis...I know if I were in the same position, that's all that would keep me in the running.
