Elizabeth Edwards has breast cancer. I guess it was treated some time ago, but came back. This leads to the belief that her particular condition is uncurable.
The embarrassing part of news has been the Conservative reaction. All over talk radio and the blogosphere everyone is asking the same question: Will the Edwards make this a campaign issue?
Let me be the first Conservative to go on record by saying: who cares?
I fully expect the Edwards to make this a campaign issue. His wife has just been told she has a painful, incurable disease. In a nation where the Congress gives grant money to doctors and scientists seeking cures you can be dang sure it will be a campaign issue. How can anyone hold that against the Edwards.
The whining from the right is embarrassing. It's one thing if pundits were reacting to things the Edwards were saying, this is a pre-emptive self pity party.
Honestly, Edwards biggest obstacle at present is Hillary Clinton - he's still got to beat her. And if Clinton ends up on the ropes, there is still Barrack Obama. He's got to do all of this before he gets to a national election.
So with all this in mind my fellow Conservatives do me a favor and STOP COMPLAINING. Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and frankly, this time it's a bunch of rabbit punches this time.
