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.

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

All my sympathies to the Edwards family
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.
