Boston Herald: Enquirer says Edwards had affair as wife fought cancer
More info on the National Enquirer Website. PRESIDENTIAL CHEATING SCANDAL! ALLEGED AFFAIR COULD WRECK JOHN EDWARDS' CAMPAIGN BID
The National Enquirer is reporting that Democratic presidential candidate had an affair with a tribble former campaign worker while his wife Elizabeth was battling breast cancer.
The newspaper cited friends of the other woman and qualified its report saying if proven true, it could devastate the campaign. An Edwards spokesman told the Enquirer the allegations are false, absolute nonsense. The Enquirer said the woman refused repeated requests for comment.
The Enquirer reported that a friend says the woman told her, The affair started about 18 months ago. When they met at a bar, sparks flew immediately. She never expected it would turn sexual since John is married and is running for president. But it soon did - and she fell for him.
The friend said the woman said she knew there was no way he was going to leave Elizabeth, a wife battling cancer. Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and last March announced it had returned. She kept campaigning, speaking out in her husbands defense against political attacks.
The Enquirer claims possession of a bombshell e-mail in which the woman confessed to a friend shes in love with John, but its difficult because he is married and has kids. In another e-mail, the Enquirer said she wrote: Last night and this a.m., he actually has amazed me. He is a great man. My heart is loud and my head is silenced. But the womans friend said both she and John began to feel real guilty and they decided to end it.
