Should John Edwards still run?

[critter crazy]

I saw the interview with Katie Curic as well, and I also got the impression, that she is wanting John to run. And he is doing it to make her happy. I guess she feels, that even tho she is sick, she dosent want to hold him back.

If they are up for it, it is totaly up to them. i think she is a very strong woman, and knows what she wants!

A great lady. Yes I think he should run. It's something to work towards, something positive, something to look forward to.

From everything that I have heard and read, they are very close and are the type to make these sorts of decisions together.

If she is ok with it, then yes, he should. Now, if he was out campaigning and she was sitting in a hospital dying - that would be a completely different story.

From what I initially heard the prognosis is not very good over time. Should he win he would have four years (at least) to serve in the White House and I am imagining that in that amount of time her health would be on the decline. I watched my own sister-in-law suffer and die from cancer over a period of years and know how much my brother's constant presence (he is retired and was able to be with her constantly) meant to her. She often told him that without him around she couldn't go on. Cancer is a horrific disease. My heart breaks for her and the entire family.

I think it's his decision along with his wife's. My opinion doesn't matter one iota! lol They need to do what is right for them at this moment.

I also caught part of the interview with Couric and I must say she's adament that he run. What a brave woman.

I did not see the interview, but wish I had.I believe they have both made
the decision that it right for them. I wish them both all the luck in the world.

I don't know one cancer survivor who thinks dropping out of life is the right
attitude to take in fighting this terrible disease. I'm sure John would drive her
crazy by constantly doting on her every pain. They don't seem the type to
live this way.

I read this morning that Tony Snow, the White House press guy, has heard
that his cancer is back & has spread to his liver. I don't know how he will
react to this terrible news, but I pray he doesn't just give up on life either.
