I feel sorry for Mrs. Edwards and family, and for the Love child (father To Be Named later), and for the first Mrs. McCain who will now become focus of media scrutiny since John McCain was having an affair with Cindy at the end of his first marriage.
The situations will not be similar (one marriage was nearing an end), but I'm sure the Times and other outlets will make it an issue and respond to hypocrisy if the right wing continually criticze Edwards and not let matter drop. McCain would be wise to remain silent.
Also, while the matter of character is debated (Edwards has confirmed his behavior despicable and that he is a narcissist - like Giuliani) the real issue is judgment! Edwards chose to have an affair while running for President! Clinton chose to have an affair while in the Oval Office! If that's their decision making criteria, thank God they are not in charge.
