The political world was rocked today when John Edwards admitted he had a relationship with a filmmaker in 2006 .. Though the National Enquirer photographed Edwards recently at a Vegas hotel, Edwards didn't produce an explanation as to why he went back to see the filmmaker--and hold a child that he claims is not his. MORE Not his child.. But his relationship.. His wife has terminal cancer. And the band played on.. John Edwards began his campaign for president before his campaign of denials in the Rielle Hunter scandal.. Edwards denied the story in October 2007, and just weeks ago when he said 'supermarket tabloids' didn't know what they are talking about. They did. And now the convention slot for Edwards is gone, I think.. the chances for Vice President, and the faith of all the youth that volunteered time and money when he was running for president. While debate rages whether the Edwards story has importance or if it's just a Friday media feeding frenzy, the truth lays within Edwards' heart--and within his family. A family reeling as news now circles around the world.. Another politician. Another scandal. Another denial. And another tabloid ending up being right.... AP PHOTO
