I'm not going to get on a soapbox and lambast you for having an affair- I have never met you and that's your business. I'm sorry for your wife and family (bear in mind that women have had their lives crushed for far far less than what you did). What I care about with regard to your behavior is that you lied. As a man, you lied. Seriously, you lied, and then you tried to cover it up. Finally, after you realized you had no way of avoiding the mess you created for yourself with more lies, you did the right thing and "came clean". You admitted it, like a "man". And as a man, I find that intolerable. You tried to get around your problems instead of going through them. You abused your power (of which you have plenty) and attempted to whitewash your sin. What did you think? You would just continue to get away with it?
Moreover, you are a leader, a United States Senator! People are supposed to look up to you, apparently, and this is how you acted? Running into a bathroom (cozy up with the poor sad Larry Craig)? I would laugh at you if your actions didn't cause so much damage. And thats just it, you, I say you, John Edwards (and all other like you), are corroding this country because you have this damn "something for nothing" attitude. Where did you acquire such narcissistic pride? From your wealth? From your status? You need to get low, real low.
While on the subject of lies, what else have you lied about? Or, are you not ready to "step up and face your mistake" until all available equivocations and plausible denials have been attempted? I personally think you have too much comfort in life. I'll bet you take things for granted that would be the height of luxury for a person like me, and you are also probably too caught up in your own reflection.
Who's the father? Do the right thing, don't steamroll yet another life. If its yours -claim it. If not, then its "not your problem". In any event, you are newly obliged (given your party to this debacle, ahem... excuse me, love triangle) to identify the real "baby's daddy"
Stop lying.

What do you think the main reason is that polygamy is not an accepted part of our culture. Too many feelings getting hurt? Not economically feasible for the common man? We're still deep rooted in Biblical traditions (even though it's widely referred to and accepted in the old testament)?
If it were accepted and Mr. Edwards choose to have more than one female partner then would he still be a creep? He wouldn't have been forced to lie at least. Perhaps with his mental faculties attending to matters of intellect instead of how best to sneak around, he would leave the Democratic party and become an interesting person.
