Edwards career a total loss with no insurance
The admission by Democrat John Edwards of an extramarital affair and his repeated denials about it during his presidential campaign cast doubts about his political future, analysts say. "I think essentially his political career is over," said Kerry Haynie, a political scientist at Duke University. "I don't see him coming back from this."

Edwards, his party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, acknowledged an affair with Rielle Hunter in an ABC interview to be broadcast tonight on "Nightline." The former North Carolina senator denied to ABC that he fathered her child and said his wife, Elizabeth, has known about the affair since 2006.
So Elizabeth knew of his philandering and yet the two ran for President in '07 and '08. Nice. I think the two should be confined to their palace. 26,000 square feet won't seem very big to John after a while.
Hunter, who is in her 40s, is a bimbo former campaign videographer who had been paid by Edwards' political action committee.

In Oct. 2007, the National Enquirer reported that Edwards and Hunter were having an affair. In response to questions about the story, Edwards said, "It's completely untrue, ridiculous."
In a statement released Friday, Edwards acknowledged the affair and said he had "made a serious error in judgment."

Hunter has not issued a public statement.
Gonna save it for her tell-all book ...
Her attorney, Robert Gordon, did not return a call for comment. Hari Sevugan, an aide to presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, declined to comment about Edwards' admission and whether Edwards would speak at the Democratic National Convention, which begins Aug. 25 in Denver.
