John Edwards Affair with Rielle Hunter and Baby Makes Three?
It is being widely reported that Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards is the father of the baby being carried by Rielle Hunter, a former Edwards campaign worker who had produced a series of films for his campaign. Details will likely emerge over the next few days and if these allegations are true it would likely have a significant impact on his campaign.
Think about it: Here we have a candidate for president who has garnered much sympathy as his wife Elizabeth struggles to beat cancer. It is likely the pendulum of support will swing the other way if it is confirmed that he not only had an affair with the campaign worker, but that he is the father of her unborn child.
I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes, I doubt a campaign could survive this scandal.
But whether we like it or not, the majority of married people have affairs when given the opportunity. We don’t like to admit it or talk about it, but it is a fact of life we need to accept. We were designed to be attracted to one another sexually—it caused us to survive and thrive as a species.
