John Edwards is a bit more left, or is campaigning a bit more to the left, than I like. But I give him kudos for the way he handled news of his wife's cancer. First he notified his family, then he and his wife held a news conference in which they gave a complete account of the state of her illness and prognosis. While it had been rumored that Edwards might, at a minimum, suspend his campaign, and possibly withdraw from the race, that was not part of the news conference.
So Kudos to the Edwards family for the honorable, loving and forthright manner in which they handled this issue. Best wishes to Mrs. Edwards in treating her illness, and best wishes to the family is dealing with it. Cancer impacts the individual , of course, but it also impacts the entire family.
The political slant? Here is a Democrat acting as the embodiment of "family values", and not some mealy mouthed politico who just issues platitudes about them.
