John Edwards: Looking for Rielle Hunter’s Baby News, VP Love, After Obama Endorsement

When will the John Edwards Love Child come home to roost?
Rielle Hunter, the ex-campaign worker/video producer, who was impregnated by John Edwards–according to the National Enquirer (and at least one Hunter friend)–has had her baby and is still secluded, by many reports, in a North Carolina multi-million dollar home owned by an Edwards backer.
John Edwards, he of the “Two Americas–one that wears condoms, the other that doesn’t–is back in the news. First, Edwards came out yesterday and endorsed Barack Obama. In related news, the NY Times reports that Edwards would “consider the role of vice president, and favored the position of attorney general.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — John Edwards gave his long-awaited endorsement to Senator Barack Obama on Wednesday, bolstering Mr. Obama’s efforts to rally the Democratic Party around his candidacy and offering potential help in his efforts to win over working class white voters in the general election.
“The Democratic voters in America have made their choice, and so have I,” Mr. Edwards told a roaring crowd of more than 12,000 people here in the Van Andel Arena, on a day when Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was trying to capitalize on her victory on Tuesday in West Virginia and convince superdelegates and contributors that she still has a chance to capture the Democratic nomination.
Mark, a commenter at New York Nerd, sounded absolutely like a fortune teller when, back on January 6 2008, he predicted that the MSM, which imposed a blackout on any news concerning the Hunter-Edwards affair, would only become interested in the affair IF Edwards won the Democrat nomination.
John Edwards still has one hurdle to cross. I predict that the MSM will go after the John Edwards - Rielle Hunter love affair story ONLY if he looks to be the nominee.
The MSM would prefer to just ignore any sex scandal of a politician (Democrat, that is), but they may have to cover the story when Ms. Hunter puts John Edwards on the birth certificate as the father. Under some state laws, it’s the birth certificate that counts for child support, if the “birth father” does not contest it.
Might that not still hold true, if Edwards is the VP candidate again?
We’ll see.
The Mainstream Media has proved unusually resistant to any and all curiosity where the curiously “coincidental” happenings of the Rielle Hunter-John Edwards story is concerned. Maybe the “Two Americas” Edwards referred to meant the ordinary curiosity that most folks exhibit upon reading about the circumstances surrounding Rielle Hunter and John Edwards–and the Mainstream Media brand of decidedly selective curiosity about all things involving the Democrat Party.
One other item caught our attention in the New York Times report.
Missing from the event was Elizabeth Edwards, Mr. Edwards’s wife, who has been a passionate proponent of universal health care. The Edwardses were said to be split on the endorsement, with Mrs. Edwards said to favor Mrs. Clinton because of her preference for parts of the Clinton health care plan.
Mr. Obama, who accepted Mr. Edwards’s endorsement with praise for the speech and the man, also praised Mrs. Edwards and her commitment to health care. Asked if she would endorse him, he said, “I would not speak for Elizabeth.”
Of course, no MSM curiosity was excited when Elizabeth Edwards, a campaign mainstay, disappeared from public campaign appearances–almost curiously–at about the time the Enquirer story showed a very pregnant Rielle Hunter. Hunter–again curiously–was moved by the Edwards campaign to within five miles of the campaign’s headquarters shortly before the story broke.
Edwards, like all canny politicians, might have been down, but never out. Edwards is angling for a second vice presidential slot.
As the campaign proceeds, aides to both men said, Mr. Edwards is sure to be included on a short-list of vice presidential prospects. Mr. Edwards has played down any aspirations for an administration role. In an interview in January, he said he would not accept a vice presidential spot or a Cabinet position. “No, absolutely not,” he said, shaking his head emphatically. But privately, he told aides that he would consider the role of vice president, and favored the position of attorney general.
Edwards, a one-term senator, would not provide much “experience” to the Obama ticket. Senator Obama is currently about in the middle of his first term in the U.S. Senate.

Anyone who reads AND believes the Enquirer needs to brush up on his critical thinking skills.
LOL:
That may be, however: what might be said about anyone who dismisses documented evidence because it came from the same source that broke any number of previous political scandals the MSM wouldn’t touch? Critical thinking demands that the thinker weigh all evidence and exhibit some thinking; i.e., making choices, evaluating all evidence.
By dismissing out of hand any proof because it came from the National Enquirer, seems to indicate a likelihood that you may be MSM reporter material, not a critical thinker. The following are just a few of the past Enquirer stories of the past (these are off the top of my head and is not a complete list).
1- Jesse Jackson’s love child;
2- the existence of Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress;
3- Gary Hart’s Monkey Business affair with Donna Rice;
That being said, thanx for taking the time to stop by and comment.
The author’s response to “LOL” is quite accurate. The National Enquirer, despite its sleazy reputation, actually always tells the truth. When the accuracy of a story is uncertain, the text hedges its bets a lot, but it’s still telling the truth by claiming only to repeat the claims of its sources. If one reads this story carefully, it quotes people, it says what may be true, it presents evidence. Not all of it is at the level of a mainstream newspaper, meaning two unconnected sources and of a person who is newsworthy, but then again, all the Enquirer writes is exactly what its reporters have heard. The fact that a number of people support the story, and that no one has disproved accounts of where the woman is living and how she is being hidden and protected means it is very likely to be true. Compare this with the well-known in Washington scuttlebutt that the real reason Gary Hart so abruptly dropped out of the Presidential race in 1988 was that the Washington Post was going to write that he was having an affair with his neighbor, the wife of Senator Joseph Tydings. He dropped out; the Post didn’t print it. To me, that was still newsworthy; WRC-TV even interviewed her to get her denial; she looked phonier than a $3 bill making the denial, in my opinion, but what do I know? Anwya, will someone please get that child’s slobber from a bottle of milk and compare it with a lock of hair obtained from Mr. Edwards’s barber!!!!! Then we can see what the truth is.
I am an old acquaintance of Rielle Hunter from LA although she went by Lisa then. She is not in NC - she is living in LA with the baby and talks about him being the father.
Susan R.,
If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, would you drop me an email, please?

Thanks!
It will finally break mainstream now
You have to wonder about the accuracy of these reports. Can it be confirmed that Edward’s had an affair with a woman?
well….
Of course this is his mistress and baby.
The NE gets it right more often then the NYT Mr LOL.
Men are idiots in general. Keep your pee pee’s in your pants!
This story is set to break MSM in the New York Times on Monday. They’re going to devote half a page to Edwards and Hunter. Its going to be huge.
This may sound dumb, but what is MSM? Is that supposed to be MSN?
I don’t buy it. Only criminal defense attorney’s deal with people who use aliases. Most wealthy professionals RUN the other way when they meet someone who uses two names. Rielle Hunter and Lisa Druck are such disparate names they portend criminality.
Also, Edwards is handsome enough to be offered blow jobs everyday by attractive women. He doesn’t need to look to get laid.
MSM is Mainstream Media.
