John Edwards to suspend campaigning

Via Politico, and privately confirmed: due to his wife's recurring bout with cancer, Presidential candiate John Edwards will suspend active campaigning. He is still, however, running for President, and supposedly, this will be only a short interruption depending on Elizabeth Edwards' status.

Warm thoughts and prayers for Elizabeth Edwards, I'm sure, would be warmly appreciated.

(Via The Daily Gotham)

[Update]: Live press conference. Nope, the campaign goes on, he's still running, and nothing will change.

All my sympathies to the Edwards family

Submitted by rwallnerny2007 on 22 March 2007 - 1:08pm.

All my sympathies and hopes go out to the Edwards family. I lost my aunt to this very same type of cancer a couple of years ago. She had the very best of care at Sloan Kettering but everything done could only delay the cancer's onslaught, make it go away for a while, but not stop it.

I hope dl21c is not canceling tonight's event, it can still be like a get together, maybe have a nice discussion on health care issues or such.

Words to live by

Politics are not the answer for black people, never have been, never will be. Been knocking on that door for too long now...nobody has answered...STOP knocking!

This is not to say that some well-meaning but, misguided, black people have not attempted to promote change through these channels but...c'mon people...it aint workin'

I would also like to add, that black people are NOT a monolith. There is room for a plethora of opinions, discourses, methodologies, and passions in the struggle...HOWEVER...there is no room for self loathing and the loathing and mistrust of other black people.
