It's the National Enquirer for pete's sake. They are the only source for this rumor. It may or may not be true, but I'm not going to base my viewpoint on them either way.
Whether it's true or not, Edwards is now a distraction. I seriously hope this story isn't true. He needs to resolve this immediately...otherwise his future with the Democratic party is done.
This story isn't new. The National Enquirer tried to get traction with it months ago. It went nowhere. Now they claim to have evidence that Edwards visited the mother of his love-child. Still no real proof. Just allegations.
I won't post the link but Fox news claims they actually talk to the hotel staff after the alleged incident. I know Fox news would like to see Edwards fail but why would they lie about what the hotel staff says?
Why? You really need to ask why? Faux News won a lawsuit in FL on the issue of truth in the news. They were sued by some reporters who were forced to put false information into a piece they had created. Faux's argument was that they were not required to publish the truth.

John Edwards may have gotten caught with his mistress and love child, Wes Clark stuck his foot halfway down his throat by seemingly belittling John McCain's military service, and Ohio governor Ted Strickland and Virginia senator Jim Webb have voluntarily withdrawn.
Like I said before, whether it's true or not, the story is out there.
"John Edwards may have"
and Clark did not stick his foot halfway down his throat. I actually think Clark is still the front-runner.
This isn't about Clark...I was just trying to make the point to you that this story is in the msm.
I pulled the bit about Clark from the quote you posted. I get your point. Let me make mine clear. This is not a 'story' it is a rumor. Big difference.
IMO, John Edwards should clear this up ASAP. Obama is great at stopping rumors; Edwards ought to do the same.
We also know how rumors of extramarital affairs kept Bill Clinton from becoming president, don't we? Oh, that's right. I'd forgotten. WJC got elected twice even with more substantial rumors out there.
You make a good point; that being said, the bloggers weren't around back then.
