register with the Republican party ... and, according to the "liberally-biased media" (prime example: Newt Gingrich), "all would be forgiven - Welcome back to the Presidential race!"

.

Just NO.

attract any new fans after this.

I imagine their memory will be equally short as to who he slept with.

I think he was sinking before this broke.

If he did chance it, the media would remind the people repeatedly. Instead of John Edwards, it would be John Edwards who fathered an illegitimate child, whose wife succumbed to cancer. Nobody would be allowed to forget.

and I don't think the average voter would accept her. I certainly don't.

from the cops.

Everything's going to be all right.

I liked Edwards too, once upon a time. But he is a done deal. So the OP needs go have a little cry and move on.

everyone know that when you posted this (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=614586), linking to a vile diary, it was an obsession.

I felt o.k. posting it, after someone else posted an (ahem) anti-Edwards thread, and quicckly self deleted it for some odd reason, after about 20 comments....

To my other thread. 43, 43, 43, 43 reccs! Do I hear 44?

Glad you enjoyed your DU experience though in your other Edwards thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=607606

The similarity is stunning in no one can make a dent in either one of their strange obsessions with Edwards.

the same thought after reading the poster's response to this comment: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002614586#post15

What a trainwreck.

Good grief.

And fuck that guy.

Is lead stamper in the licence plate factory.

Now if he were an extreme RW RETHUG, perhaps he could have a second act--we've certainly see it happen on their side. A Democrat? NO way. And, nor should he.

He is as politically dead as they come.

Playing devils advocate and being snarky, I do not think this is a good idea at all. I think you've kinda lost it unionworks. (No offense.)

many were very disgusted because they were low income folks who really believed in him and sent in donations they could barely afford. He blew that trust and I believe it would be impossible for him to run again. It's too bad because he was one of few to actually talk seriously about class.

There was no way I was going to vote for Hillary or Obama in the primaries, so I went with him (by that time Mike Gravel had dropped out). As the primaries went on our prospects for someone left of center dwindled, imo.

Mike Gravel had some seriously fucking awesome positions and had a better chance than Dennis Kucinich. But whatever.

Please?

not including the word "Carolina" in it. If he couldn't get support when he was part of the "perfect couple", younger and better looking (more important in his case than most) and when he was not seen as having baggage.

Now, I suspect that his chances are on a par with Lindsey Lohan's - and she has a possible future as an excellent actress if she gets her act together.

Edwards was not a policy wonk who could do valuable work in the background - he was essentially the "frontman" who could sponsor that work - now he can't do that because no one trusts him.

Edwards was NOT pro-union as a Senator - much the opposite - nor was he an outcast - until his behavior made him so.

Most of us in NC are disgusted with him now too. EE was great, but she is no longer with us. John Edwards, though? He really screwed himself over. He did it to himself too. He has no one else to blame but himself.

He's been shown the door

Even forgetting the Edwards stuff, he or she has been posting things very unDU.

Eliot Spitzer could be his running mate. Winning ticket !

to take the side of a lying little narcissist jerk who betrayed his wife when she was dying of cancer. I just wanted to clear that up since in another thread you said there are always two sides. Yes, there are two sides to every story, for example, Charles Manson has his side of the story as well about his cult murders. 99% of the people though, don't want to take his side or hear his explanations. Hope that makes sense, the point is an easy one to understand really.

It seems like you're having a great time.

I never got on the Edwards train. A phony like Myth Rmoney.

He's a horrible human.

but you didn't!

LOL. Poor Edwards has a fan club of one. And that person isn't even serious.

Even the slowest of DUers knows enough about politics to realize that Edwards is done. Forever.

And Occupy? Choosing a discredited, philandering 1 percenter to be the political hopes of the movement?

His political career is over.

Even though the current crop of Democrats is only marginally better than the Republicans, I still think there are better options than Edwards. The guy's a totally immoral asswipe! Come to think of it, with those kind of credentials maybe he should run on the Republican ticket. Compared to them, he'd look like a saint. It'd be like giving their party a much needed facelift.

A lot of people were turned off by his shysty ways from the get-go. Everybody else was turned off by his subsequent craven behavior.

He's a stupid asshole. This isn't 'Democrats eating their own,' it's regular people seeing a hustler for what he is. For all the talk about how stupid the common man is, they know a fraud when they see one.

In spades......

a parallel world in another dimension-maybe.

But here in the reality based universe, not in this lifetime. Ever.

And when people like me and my partner, who loved the guy, who thought he was the answer, who really bought his whole spiel-when we sneer at his name or spit at his mention, then you know he's way, way past done.

He had his chance and he fucked it-quite literally fucked it. Enjoy the life you made for yourself, John-hope its all you dreamed it would be.

And I read YouTube comments earlier, so you should be real fucking proud of that one.

This is one.

we should expect to lose.

if he's back a little bit...sooner than that, actually.

Newt Gingrich and John Edwards share an apartment, and we get to watch on TLC, Bravo, or VH-1. That's a way better idea.

for a while and find a new line of work outside of politics.

He is damaged goods now.

Perhaps on the local level he could get elected but on the national level not so much.

making license plates...

after what he did to his cancer stricken wife who is now dead is SICK, SICK, SICK.

Even his wife forgave him in the end but doesn't mean he should ever be elected to anything.

No thanks.

'Cause until you do that, you might as well wonder who'd win a fight between Donald and Daffy Duck

no how, huh-uh, uh-uh, NO.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ad infinitum!!!!!!!!!!!!1

BTW, are you CRAZY????????

I can understand why he would gravitate towards edwards because of his pro-labor stance. And, we've got some democrats that have been very anti-labor, pro-corporate; however, edwards is toxic. Also, I believe edwards was one who helped create the patriot act after the OKC bombing. It just needed to be dusted off and reintroduced--some in congress were salivating to pass that bill.

What edwards did was reprehensible. However, with all the public crying about family values by the repugs, I see newt's still in the public eye and diaperman. Spitzer gone, diaperman still there.

I don't think it was just this OP.

I don't agree with that. As much as I don't agree with his views on Edwards, he has a right to state his opinion.

I abhor censorship.

I guess it's his youthful face.

Really...........

We probably can find somebody who believes in the message, and, even before all this story, it was clear Edward did not believe in it.
