Oh dear, I hope i NEVER see that. that's the kind of thing i don't want to know about. i listen to podcasts of news over the internet, that's how i learned of McCain's past meanness to his first wife. I wonder if they will show pics of that. . . hope not!! I'm sticking to listening not watching. (Still I don't think I can pass judgement, I hope Edwards' will have a stronger marriage, I can't help it my heart goes out to them after losing their son and all.)Anyway, I wanted Bill Richardson in the primaries . . . people should ask me NOT to support them, I think, the person I support never even gets very far!

i needed this idea! This stool looks perfect for my daughter's make up table which is a painted narrow side table. All i could think of was a square pouf but that seemed dangerous! She has an new antique looking gold framed mirror above the table with some good lighting she'll be good to go. thanks!

Hi ladies! I don't know if both of the candidates are immoral or not. I'm not perfect so I don't judge people on personal matters. I will never know the truth about someone's adultery,only how other people judge it; even though they don't know the intimate truth of the matter.
I know one candidate had marital problems.
I know the other candidate was involved in criminal activities that others were punished for during the S&L scandal. The worse thing from the S&L bailout was the hurt it did to many, many regular people and their families. That's the type of issue that I look at to chose a person for government office.
I understand that McCain was in extramarital relationships including with his present wife while still married. Maybe since that was centuries ago we don't see that up on the scorecard!!!

It seems that adultery goes with powerful people, something about the psychology of power and people wanting to be close to power.

I don't know if it's hubris from John Edwards looking at his life's work, he doesn't seem like that kind of person. Maybe he was so worried about Elizabeth he was focused on her and not about the emotions of the rest of the world concerning what happened.

What it comes down to is:
I'm not understanding why adultery is an issue having to do with elections. It doesn't seem reasonable to me.
It's not something I even want to know about anyone let alone my leaders!!! I guess I'm out of the mainstream on this one.

I had regular reflexology treatments until my therapist moved away! I took my children and my husband, too! I think it really helps lots of health problems & it's so calming! I want one of my daughters to marry a reflexology therapist, but they are ignoring me as usual!

I'm decorating my daughter's college apartment right now. I've gotten some great ideas from your pod casts! I'm concentrating on the kitchen now which is a strange color of maybe greenish brown. But it has lovely tiles over the sink in peach, blues, grey and green. My daughter loves maroon and pinks so I'm trying to use fabrics that have many colors in the same shade (tone?) as those in the tile. So she has plaid curtains on the kitchen door window but a Hawaiian inspired tablecloth which includes the colors in a big flower design with lace and a narrow peach ribbon on the border for detail. Her seat pads are more sedate: one color with lace around the edges (she's a girlie girl) hooked to the chair with green ribbons. Maybe I'm taking too many risks!!!

I don't agree that we have to buy into the whole your famous, shame on you cycle. being in the public eye does not mean you, your family and relationships can be scrutinized. An affair is something to be worked out by the couple and their pastor or counselor. John Edwards told his wife, she knew and they worked on the problem in their marriage in their own way. Elizabeth Edwards was vulnerable and so was John Edwards. No one has a right to judge, for a stranger to judge or blame is just mean.
NOW EDwards is out, a prez candidate with plans to lift people out of poverty and stand up for people that are going to work everyday not knowing when they'll get that pink slip or even if they will have their pension that they've paid into all their lives.
McCain is running as a Maverick yet he was involved in the Silverado/Savings &Loan debacle. Even though that situation has characteristics of today's financial chicanery no one cares.
It's good for the Repb. the other woman didn't care or respect the Edwards' enough to keep a private issue private. I wonder how many people are REALLY going to vote for a person with dark skin.

I don't feel like his affair is any of my business, I don't like private family business being discussed around the globe. This couple has been through very bad times together; that they still can communicate is really a hopeful sign for the rest of us. I wonder if Mr. Edwards wasn't going through a vulnerable time. Such a shame to lose a great presidential candidate over something that is personal.
