I hate to say this, but I'm at the point where I think all politicians have extra-marital affairs, lie about it and have their spouse's forgive them. I am so tainted and immune to all of this now (particularly when they are smooth-talking, southern lawyers)

What I don't understand is that this lady, Rielle Hunter, is claiming that Edwards fathered her 5 month old daughter.

Yet Edwards claims the affair ended in 2006.

Quote:
He declined to clarify exactly when the relationship began or ended but said it was over before he announced his campaign for the presidency on Dec. 28, 2006.
The baby was born Feb. 27, 2008. I'm not a mother, and I don't know the particulars about conception, but that would have put the date of conception around May of '07.

How can the baby be his?

Reports said that Ms. Hunter will not persue a paternity test. Somewhere today I heard that another man admitted to being the father. Can't remember where I heard it or the source.

It says it in the link that nittany posted. Someone involved in Edwards campaign says he's the father.

Yet, Ms. Hunter hasn't said he was. I was looking for the source that I read where it said that she wanted to prove Edwards was the father, but I can't find it.

The fact that she doesn't want a paternity test anymore just shows to me that Edwards couldn't be the father, and she knows it.

I just read something on theHuffington Post that it was her sister, Melissa, that wants to prove it. From a couple of articles that I Googled under her name, it said Rielle is in hiding.

"The family of John Edwards’ former mistress, Rielle Hunter, is challenging the former senator to take a DNA paternity test after his claim that he did not father Hunter’s 6-months-old child.
In the first reaction from Hunter’s family, her younger sister Melissa told ABC News that Edwards should immediately follow through on his pledge to take a paternity test.
“I would challenge him to do so,” the sister said.
“Somebody must stand up and defend my sister,” she said. “I wish that those involved would refrain from bad-mouthing my sister.”"

The Enquirer also claims that people close to Hunter have been saying that she's in love with Edwards and truly believes they will be together in the near future.... how creepy...it's like she's waiting for Elizabeth to pass

All day on the news, I have heard that Hunter refuses to take a paternity test and that she wants to keep her life private! Is she kidding? This really makes me believe John is the father. It's like she's protecting him!

In the political arena, philandering is equal-opportunity. Liberal, conservative, black, white, Catholic, Protestant, Gay, Straight....you name it, they all screw around.

I'm sure she's beating his butt behind closed doors. If she can muster the strength.

Though not married at the time, Strom Thurmond had an illegitimate daughter as well, and I'm pretty sure he's not a liberal.

I'm not saying one group or the other does it more often, I think people in general are equally prone to infidelity regardless of their politics.
