John Edwards admits extra-marital affair

Former Democractic Presidential candidate John Edwards has admitted that he was having affair with a 42 year old female who recently gave birth to a daughter on Feb 27, 2008.  So, the Mr. Clean was not all that clean.  When his wife was under health issues and he was running for President, he was also getting in to bed with this lady.  I am not the one to make any judgments and affair as an action is just that.  An Action.

It just goes to show that people when they are facing some tough situations in life do tend to find ways to ease out their emotions.  They want a release.  And that is what Edwards probably was looking for.  Presidential race is not easy and it wasn’t so for him as well.

For many, he will immediately become a “sinner” and for some, his admittance and asking for forgiveness will be enough.  And to me, both sides will just using nonsensical constructs.  It is one thing to judge someone by not being in her/his position, and quite another to be in that position.

But it certainly rules him out of any VP posts or any other attempt at the Presidential race next time.
