Former presidential candidate John Edwards abandoned his long denial that he had fathered a child during an affair with a campaign aide and admitted today that he is the father of the almost 2-year-old girl.


"I am Quinn's father," Edwards said in the bombshell statement this morning. "I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.


The former senator and presidential hopeful had an affair with campaign cinematographer Rielle Hunter, 42, and she later give birth to Frances Quinn.

I suspected he was lying all along.

Wasn't he trying to get custody?

I feel sorry for Elizabeth. She has battled cancer for years, and to have her find out that snake was screwing around while she was fighting for her life is disturbing.


Now I see, the National Enquirer's latest issue says he's having ANOTHER affair with a DIFFERENT woman!! They have been right on all the other things that have happened concerning Edwards, and Tiger Woods, to name only 2, so I put some stock into what they are now saying about this weasel.

I also saw the Oprah Show. Elizabeth was hurt, angry, betrayed, mad, probably sick to her stomach. But in denial. No. She knew exactly who the father of that child was. BTDT.

My two oldest kids have a half-brother out there some place. It's an awful smack in the face when you are that betrayed. I found out when I walked into a hospital room, where my now ex husband had a broken leg. There she sat. Very-very pregnant. We had just got divorced. Like about 3 weeks before.

It was very hard when my kids could think for themselves. And count. As in "Mom, you and our Dad had just got a divorce when baby was born."

I understood what Elizabeth was talking about when she said the child would not be a part of her life.

I don't think it was a shock to anyone that Quinn is Edwards child.

They are adults now. With kids of their own. They just found out last summer they have an 18 year old half-Sister. I have no idea how many kids this guy has.

I know this is different from a long-time marriage, but when I was very young (actually right before I graduated high school) my steady bf periodically cheated on me.

As much as I detest the National Enquirer, they have been right about a lot of things which at first seem off-the-wall and bizarre.

Poor Elizabeth Edwards. She's gone through so much.
