John and Elizabeth Edwards

Also....what do you want them to do....roll up the tents and just sit around and wait for the disease to take her? That is exactly what they said they did not want to do! That is an attitude I could appreciate in a President and his First Lady!

The Edwards have certainly had their share of woe in their lifetime. I think his wife's a peach, has her head on straight. She doesn't look stoned or like she's just toughing it out 'til cocktail hour like the rest of the candidate's wives.

Larry, presidential campaigns are grueling propositions that can put enormous strains on vigorous and healthy couples. It is a huge roadshow and you're constantly under the spotlight.

It doesn't get any better in the White House - look at how past presidents have aged. I wouldn't take that job for any amount of prestige or desire for power.

The time Mr. Edwards spends campaigning is time that could be spent living and loving while the clock is ticking...and...while Mrs. Edwards is still reasonably healthy. I just shake my head and wonder if I can think even less of him for putting his career ahead of his wife.

Again, this is just my opinion ... life is just too short to be chasing fleeting ambitions.
