Game Changer, Sen. John McCain Picks Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential Running Mate

Source: blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com

Sarah Palin's surprise nomination has created a media frenzy. John McCain (72) announced that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (44) is his vice presidential running mate on the eve of the Republican National Convention and then everything changed. Palin is a self-styled gun packing hockey playing mother of five children, and political reformer, who has been governor of her state less than two years. I tend to hate all politicians but I like this lady, I like her because she took on corrupt members of her own party and won thus sending their butts to jail. I like her much more after seeing the media tired to destroy her. I am happy to say that all the media attacks have failed and now there is a major backlash against the media for their bias and largely untrue attacks Gov. Palin.


McCain picked Palin in an attempt to appeal to the disenfranchised Hillary Clinton supporters, and women who make up the majority of voters in the United States. If McCain is elected President, Palin will be the first woman Vice President, making history. This woman is one tough broad and I like that, the number two should be tough as balls.

Palin is a brilliant pick. Unlike the arrogant first woman Speaker of the House Mrs. Nancy Pelosi who wanted a jet as big as Air Force One to fly around and promote her book (which only sold about 5,000 copies, if I wrote a book about my balls it would sell more books than that), Palin saved her state hundreds of thousands of dollars by getting rid of the private governor jet to fly commercial airlines, drives herself around without security staff, and she has reformed Alaska’s state government. She’s humble, from a working family, strong, hard working, honest and yes SEXY and unlike Obama, Palin has executive experience as a mayor and state governor. Palin also has a nearly 90% approval rate by voters in her state. And like Obama she has legislative experience as council member.

Sarah Palin for President 2016

ABC News' Gibson lands first Sarah Palin interview. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will sit down with ABC News anchor Charles Gibson for her first television interview since becoming the Republican vice presidential candidate 10 days ago, Politico reports.

Palin will spend the next few days on the campaign trail before returning to Alaska, where she will record the interview for World News later this week. Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter.

Palin won over GOP loyalists with her speech last week at the Republican convention in St. Paul, which drew more than 40 million television viewers breaking all records.

The 44-year-old first-term governor and mother of five has been facing pressure to submit to a national interview since John McCain unexpectedly selected her as his running mate.

Since being chosen, questions have been raised about her experience and grasp of the issues, especially foreign affairs, as well as her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy.

This Sunday, McCain and the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden all appeared on political talk shows while Palin declined.

"She's a smart, tough politician," Biden said on NBC's Meet the Press. "Eventually, she's going to have to sit in front of you like I'm doing and have done. Eventually, she's going to have to answer questions and not be sequestered. Eventually, she's going to have to answer on the record."

On Friday, Oprah Winfrey announced she will not be interviewing Palin until after the election. What a surprise?

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Is McCain's Vice President Pick

Source: GutterUncensored.com

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a self-styled "hockey mom" who has only been governor for a little over two years, is GOP Presidential candidate John McCain's choice for Vice President. She is describe as a "solid-conservative" and likely to unite the Republican Party behind McCain. John McCain has tapped Washington outsider Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate in the 2008 Presidential Election. At least there will be someone with some executive experience on one of the tickets this year. That being said, I hate all politicians period... lawyers too.


According to a Republican strategist, Palin is the nominee, though McCain's campaign has not comfirmed this.

Palin is a first-term governor credited with reforms in her out-of-the-way state.

Newly minted Democratic nominee Barack Obama is making an aggressive play for the traditional GOP stronghold and its three electoral votes, and polls show the race close.

At 44, Palin is younger than Obama and, like McCain, she calls herself a maverick.

A Gulfstream IV from Anchorage, Alaska, flew into Middletown Regional Airport in Butler County near Cincinnati about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, said Rich Bevis, airport manager.

He said several people came off the plane, including a woman and two teens, but there was no confirmation of who was aboard.

"They were pretty much hustled off. They came right down the ramp, jumped in some vans here and off they went," Bevis said. "It was all hush, hush."

Among the other possible running mates: former Pennsylvania Gov.Tom Ridge, Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and former Rep. Rob Portman of Ohio.

The Arizona senator decided on his choice for vice president early Thursday, but the campaign has given no hint on the selection that will be announced on his 72nd birthday.

The speculation sent a buzz throughout Denver, where Obama accepted his party's nomination and put Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware on his ticket.

Jill Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, gave nothing away during an interview on CBS' "The Early Show."

"John McCain is going to make the choice from his heart. He's going to choose someone who can be a partner in governing. He's going to choose someone who brings character and principle to the table and who shares his priorities. And I'm confident that he's going to make a great pick," Hazelbaker said.

With an announcement scheduled in Dayton, Ohio, an associate of Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said the governor had been informed he is not McCain's pick. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for Pawlenty, who had all but ruled himself out.

"I'm not going to be there. I plan to be at the state fair. You can draw your conclusion from that," Pawlenty said on his weekly call-in radio show on WCCO-AM in Minneapolis. He also called it "a fair assumption" that he will not be McCain's running mate.

Associates close to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were saying the same thing, telling The Associated Press that the former presidential candidate had not been offered the job by McCain.

Republicans kick off their national nominating convention next week in St. Paul, Minn., and McCain's campaign hopes the announcement of his running mate will stunt any momentum Obama might get from the just-concluded Democratic National Convention.

McCain was mum on the subject Thursday as he and his wife, Cindy, boarded a plane in Phoenix bound for Dayton.

Biography

--------------------------------------------

Sarah Heath Palin (born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho, U.S.A) is the current Governor of Alaska, and a member of the Republican Party. She is the youngest and first female governor of Alaska. Brought to statewide attention because of her whistleblowing on ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders, she won election in 2006 by first defeating the incumbent governor in the Republican primary, then a former Democratic Alaskan governor in the general election.

Palin was born as Sarah Louise Heath in Sandpoint, Idaho, the daughter of Charles and Sally (Sheeran) Heath. Her family moved to Alaska when she was an infant. Charles Heath was a popular science teacher and coached track. The Heaths were avid outdoors enthusiasts; Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family would regularly run 5k and 10k races.

Palin was the point guard and captain for the Wasilla High School Warriors, in Wasilla, Alaska, when they won the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982; she earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" because of her intense play. She played the championship game despite a stress fracture in her ankle, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds. Palin, who was also the head of the school Fellowship of Christian Athletes, would lead the team in prayer before games.

In 1984, Palin was second-place in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant after winning the Miss Wasilla contest earlier that year, winning a scholarship to help pay her way through college. In the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and also won Miss Congeniality.

Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose burgers, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane. Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it.

Palin holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Idaho where she also minored in politics. She briefly worked as a sports reporter for local Anchorage television stations while also working as a commercial fisherman with her husband, Todd, her high school sweetheart. One summer when she was working on Todd's fishing boat, the boat collided with a tender while she was holding onto the railing; Palin broke several fingers. Outside the fishing season, Todd works for BP at an oil field on the North Slope and is a champion snowmobiler, winning the 2000-mile "Iron Dog" race four times. The two eloped shortly after Palin graduated college; when they learned they needed witnesses for the civil ceremony, they recruited two residents from the old-age home down the street. Todd is a Native Yup'ik Eskimo. The Palin family lives in Wasilla, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Anchorage.

On September 11, 2007, the Palins' son Track joined the Army. Eighteen years old at the time, he is the eldest of Palin's five children. Track now serves in an infantry brigade and will be deployed to Iraq in September. She also has three daughters: Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7. On April 18, 2008, Palin gave birth to her second son, Trig Paxson Van Palin, who has Down syndrome. She returned to the office three days after giving birth. Palin refused to let the results of prenatal genetic testing change her decision to have the baby. "I'm looking at him right now, and I see perfection," Palin said. "Yeah, he has an extra chromosome. I keep thinking, in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?"

Senator Joe Biden is Obama's Vice Presidential Pick

Source: blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama still isn't saying who he's picked as his vice presidential running mate until 10:00 AM EST but speculation surrounding Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., has increased as the official Democratic ticket's unveiling in Springfield on Saturday nears. But it seem someone close to his campaign has leaked the name Sen. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. late Friday night. Somewhere there is a very angry Hillary Clinton and a very scared Bill Clinton hiding from his wife. Joe Biden is seen as a safe choice for Obama but does have some baggage of his own, they do call him Slow Joe Biden for a reason. But its a very good pick by Sen. Obama because you just can't have your veep out shining you.


Delaware Sen. Joe Biden emerged as Barack Obama's likely choice for vice presidential running mate on the Democratic ticket Friday night as other contenders slowly fell away in a suspenseful day and night. The normally loquacious Biden maintained a low profile as associates said they believed — but did not know — that he would be tapped. They added they had been asked to stand by in case their help was needed.

You can expect Joe Biden to keep things interesting by saying some stupid things. As has been widely reported, Biden was quoted in an interview with the New York Observer as saying the following about fellow U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who identify himself as a black man: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Biden apparently called Sen. Obama to apologize, whereupon Obama told him not to worry about it. But there was outrage from the African-American political leadership. Obama later told reporters that there are much more important public policy issues to be discussing. But he was clear to point out in a written statement that even if Biden’s remarks did not personally offend him, they are historically inaccurate: “African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.”

Biden, who has twice run for president, remained out of public view. Obama's campaign said it would have no announcement until a text message planned for early Saturday, but did nothing to squelch the growing speculation.

The 65-year-old senator became the focus as Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine spread word he had been ruled out and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana was told he was not Obama's choice.

Several aides to former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton — who was Obama's closest rival for the presidential nomination — said they believed she was out of contention. They added the Obama campaign had never requested financial or other records from her, the typical first step toward a nomination.

Obama arranged a Saturday debut with his ticket mate outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Among those who had made the short list, Biden brought the most experience in defense or foreign policy — areas in which Obama is rated relatively poorly in the polls compared with Republican Sen. John McCain. Biden, 65, was elected to the Senate at the age of 29 in 1973.

Biden spent the day at his home in Delaware with friends and family. The normally loquacious lawmaker maintained a low profile as associates said they believed — but did not know — he would be tapped. They added they had been asked to stand by in case their help was needed.

Additionally, several associates of Obama — including some at his campaign headquarters in Chicago — said they believed Biden was the choice, though they cautioned they had not been told directly.

Biden dropped out of the 2008 race after a poor finish in the Iowa caucuses, but not before he talked dismissively of joining someone else's ticket.

"I am not running for vice president," he said in a Fox interview. "I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me. The fact of the matter is I'd rather stay as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee than be vice president."

Also during the day, conservative Rep. Chet Edwards of Texas emerged — however briefly — as a contender.

On a day and night of political suspense, Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia told associates on Friday he had been ruled out as Barack Obama's running mate and Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden emerged as a leading contender to join the Democratic ticket. A Democratic official close to Bill Richardson said the New Mexico governor was told he had been passed over.

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius rounded out the roster of likely contenders — a list that did not take into account any surprises that Obama might harbor.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooooo," she told reporters who asked for her latest thoughts on the months-long search.

Three days before Democrats open their convention in Denver, officials said the Obama campaign had taken the trouble to print material bearing the names of several potential ticket mates. The result was to minimizing the significance of a report that one company was churning out signs bearing Bayh's name.

Obama told reporters on Thursday he had made his choice, and aides used the prospect of a text-message announcement to try and attract additional supporters by soliciting their cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Hundreds of miles to the west, carpenters, electricians, sound stage gurus and others transformed the Pepsi Center in Denver into a made-for-television convention venue.

Tucked away in one corner were thousands of lightweight rolled cardboard tubes, ready-made handles for signs bearing the names of the Democratic ticket — once the identity of Obama's running mate was known.

Edwards, whom House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had touted for running mate, told The Associated Press in Waco, Texas, "I have had interactions with the Obama campaign over the last several months but I will not get into details."

Kaine, a moderate governor from a swing state, boarded a private plane at a small airport for a flight to Denver — not Springfield, Ill., and the Democratic ticket.

Bayh, a second-term senator, attended tennis camp with one of his sons.

"My answer to any question about the subject that I think you're referring to is that all inquiries should be directed at Senator Obama's campaign," said Clinton, the former first lady who came close to capturing the nomination in the primaries of last winter and spring.

Despite the advice, neither Obama nor his aides were saying.

"Obviously, the most important question is: Is this person ready to be president?" Obama told "The Early Show" on CBS. Second, he said, was: "Can this person help me govern? Are they going to be an effective partner in creating the kind of economic opportunity here at home and guiding us through some dangerous waters internationally?"

And, he added: "I want somebody who is going to be able to challenge my thinking and not simply be a yes person when it comes to policymaking.

Clinton's credentials were forged in the primaries and caucuses where she ran a close second to Obama in the battle for the nomination. She maintains a loyal following among Democrats, many of whom have yet to swing behind the man who defeated her.

There was no shortage of other speculation, ranging from GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who traveled with Obama to Iraq and Afghanistan, to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, to Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut.

Biography
--------------------------------------------

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. (born November 20, 1942 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. U.S.A.) is the senior United States Senator from Delaware. He is a member of the Democratic Party, and is currently serving his sixth term. Biden has served for the sixth-longest period among current Senators (fourth among Democrats) and is Delaware's longest-serving Senator. He is the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in the 110th Congress. Biden has served in that position in the past, and he has served as Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. He was a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election, but dropped out after the caucuses in Iowa on January 3, 2008.

Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the son of Joseph R. Biden, Sr. and Catherine Eugenia "Jean" Finnegan. He was the first of four siblings and is of Irish Catholic heritage. He has two brothers, James Brian Biden and Francis W. Biden, and a sister, Valerie (Biden) Owens. The Biden family moved to Claymont, Delaware when Biden was 10 years old, and he grew up in suburban New Castle County, Delaware, where his father was a car salesman. He also loved to play the flute in band, which earned him the nickname, "fleet flutin joe". In 1961, Biden graduated from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware and, in 1965, from the University of Delaware in Newark, where he double majored in history and political science. He then attended Syracuse University College of Law, graduated in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.

In 1966, while in law school, Biden married Neilia Hunter. They had three children, Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III, Robert Hunter, and Naomi. His wife and infant daughter died in a car accident shortly after he was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972. His two young sons, Beau and Hunter, were seriously injured in the accident, but both eventually made full recoveries. Biden was sworn into office from their bedside. Persuaded not to resign in order to care for them, Biden began the practice of commuting an hour and a half each day on the train from his home in the Wilmington suburbs to Washington, DC, which he continues to do.

In 1977, Biden married Jill Tracy Jacobs. They have one daughter, Ashley, and are members of the Roman Catholic Church. In February 1988, Biden was hospitalized for two brain aneurysms which kept him from the Senate for seven months.

Biden's elder son, Beau, was a partner in the Wilmington law firm of Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden & Balick, LLC and was elected Attorney General of Delaware in 2006. He is a captain in the Delaware Army National Guard, where he serves in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps. He is set to be deployed to Iraq in October. Biden's younger son, Hunter, works as a lawyer in Washington, DC, serves on the board of directors of Amtrak, and previously worked in the Commerce Department.

Since 1991, Biden has also served as an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law, where he teaches a seminar on constitutional law.In 1987, Joe Biden ran as a Democratic presidential candidate, formally declaring his candidacy at the Wilmington train station on June 9, 1987. In Biden's speech, he challenged Americans to step beyond the materialism of the Reagan years. When the campaign began, Biden was considered a potentially strong candidate because of his moderate image, his supposed appeal to Baby Boomers, his fundraising appeal (Biden's $1.7 million raised in the first quarter of 1987 was more than any other candidate, including the then front-runner, Gary Hart), his high profile position as chair of the Senate Judiciary committee during the Robert Bork confirmation hearings, and, perhaps above all, his soaring oratory. Biden often seemed to try to inspire the same hope and idealism assoicated with 1960s liberals such as Robert Kennedy, especially as related to civil rights. He received considerable attention in the summer of 1986 when he excoriated Secretary of State George Shultz at a Senate Hearing because of the Reagan administration's support of South Africa, which continued to support a system of Apartheid. By August 1987, however, Biden's campaign had already begun to lag behind those of Michael Dukakis and Richard Gephardt.

Then in September 1987, the campaign ran into serious trouble when he was accused of plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock, then-leader of the British Labour Party. Though Biden had correctly credited the original author in all speeches but one, the one where he failed to make mention of the originator was caught on video. Within days, it was also discovered that, while at Syracuse Law School, Biden had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote. Biden said the act was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F in the course. Biden also released at the same time the record of his grades as an undergraduate which were C's and D's with the exception of two A's in physical education, one B in a course on English writers and an F in ROTC during his first three semesters. His grades improved later in his undergraduate career but were not exceptional. Further, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school Biden had claimed falsely to have graduated in the "top half" of his class, (when he actually graduated 76th in a class of 85) that he had attended on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees. In fact he had received a single B.A. in history and political science and had not received a full scholarship.

Faced with these revelations, Biden withdrew from the nomination race on September 23, 1987, saying his candidacy had been overrun by "the exaggerated shadow" of his mistakes. After Biden withdrew from the race it was learned that the Dukakis campaign had secretly made a video showcasing the Biden/Kinnock comparison and distributed it to news outlets. Dukakis fired John Sasso, his campaign manager and long-time Chief of Staff.

John Edwards Won Father of the Year Award, No Joke

Source: blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com

Senator John Edwards finally admits that he’s had an affair with Rielle Hunter after months of denial. He issued the following statements last Friday regarding his affair but he is denying being the father of Hunter’s baby girl. For some reason, the official John Edwards YouTube channel still includes a speech Edwards made in 2007 accepting a "Father Of The Year" award, even though it contains various comments that sound funny/awful now that the former presidential candidate and Senator has admitted to cheating on his dying wife. Of course, the Edwards camp was busy dealing with Nightline late last week, and maybe they also figured removing the speech would lend credence to charges Edwards fathered a love child, which he still denies. Plus, at six minutes long, the YouTube video is a slog but it has moments of fantastic irony.

So this sex scandal has hit rock bottom, the sickest thing I have ever heard is that Edwards' mistress is waiting for his wife to die from her incurable cancer. The mistress want to marry John Edwards after Elisabeth Edwards is dead. The Democratic Party dodge a bullet not nominating this dude to be their candidate for President. But Hillary Clinton should be pissed as balls because if it was not for Edwards in the late stages of the primaries she would have won the nomination.

Edwards' public statment about his affair:

“In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs. I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99% honest is no longer enough.”

And he goes on …

“I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then. I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established. I only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.

It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up - feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.

I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say.”

Meet John Edwards
By John Tabin
Published 8/11/2008 12:08:30 AM

John Edwards hasn't stopped lying.

After many angry denials that he had sex with that woman, Rielle Hunter, Edwards went on Nightline Friday to confess that yes, he did have an affair with Hunter, and yes, he was caught by National Enquirer reporters while visiting Hunter last month at the Beverly Hilton.

But he was quick to add several caveats:

(A) The affair was brief; it started and ended in 2006. This was when his wife's cancer (which is now terminal) was in remission, he makes a point to emphasize.

(B) Rielle Hunter's baby, who was born in February, is not his. Because of the timing, "it's not possible."

(C) The affair happened after he hired Hunter, who had no real filmmaking experience to speak of, to film behind-the-scenes campaign videos for $114,000.

(D) He knows nothing about any hush-money Hunter has received.

(E) He knows nothing about where the National Enquirer got a picture of him holding a baby in what appears to be a Beverly Hilton hotel room.

All of these assertions are suspect. One is demonstrably false.

Start with (A). If the affair had been over so long ago, why was Edwards still visiting Hunter so recently? His answer is that he was meeting with her to convince her not to talk to the press. But why was he worried about the press?

The mainstream press, shamefully, had totally ignored the story, to the point that this is as much a media scandal as a sex scandal. The New York Times was happy to run vague innuendoEnquirer in October 2007.

A McCain spokesman declined to comment when I asked him on Friday whether there's a partisan double-standard in how the media handles adultery rumors. Readers can draw their own conclusion.

As for the Enquirer, it hadn't run anything on Edwards since December. If the goal was to keep his name out of the tabloid's pages, it was pretty dumb to risk getting caught in the same place with Hunter.

Why didn't he just pick up the phone? And if the affair was over as early as 2006, why was Hunter still on the Edwards campaign payroll through April 2007?

If his claim about the timing of the affair is false, that of course undermines assertion (B), that Hunter's baby can't possibly be his. Edwards said on Nightline that he's willing to take a paternity test. But read between the lines of the exchange:
about John McCain on its front page in February (the week before Hunter's baby was born) but fastidiously avoided looking into the Edwards affair, which was first reported by the

WOODRUFF: Have you taken a paternity test?

EDWARDS: I have not, I would welcome participating in a paternity test. Be happy to participate in one. I know that it's not possible that this child could be mine because of the timing of events, so I know it's not possible. Happy to take a paternity test, and would love to see it happen.

WOODRUFF: Are you going to do that soon?

EDWARDS: I'm only one side -- I'm only one side of the test, but I'm happy to participate in one.

WOODRUFF: Has Miss Hunter said, she does not want to do this DNA test?

EDWARDS: I don't know what she has said.

That "I'm only one side" line sort of came out of nowhere, didn't it?

It should have been no surprise to careful viewers of the Nightline interview that Hunter issued a statement through her lawyer Saturday that "Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter's privacy now or in the future."

Edwards seemed to be anticipating just such a response from Hunter. Rather than demanding a paternity test to clear his name, he explicitly tossed the ball into Hunter's court.

Hunter response -- invoking her and her daughter's privacy -- is a little odd if she expects the test to come up negative. How much of an invasion of privacy is it to prove that someone isn't


THE ASSERTION THAT IS definitely untrue is (C). Sam Stein of the Huffington Post has plenty of evidence that Edwards and Hunter knew each other for seven months before Hunter was hired by the campaign. Emails from those seven months indicate that the affair was going on.

There's no mystery as to why Edwards would lie about that: It would be one thing if Edwards had an affair with someone who happened to work for him, but anyone who donated to the Edwards campaign has to be appalled to learn that Edwards hired this woman because she was his mistress. This moves the scandal beyond mere sex and into the realm of financial corruption.

Speaking of which, ABC News has confirmed that Rielle Hunter has received $15,000 a month to hide from the press in Santa Barbara, California. Her benefactor is Fred Baron, who was national finance chair to the Edwards campaign. Did Baron really drop all that coin without so much as a "don't worry, I'll take care of this" to Edwards?

(Also hiding in Santa Barbara on Baron's dime: Andrew Young, an Edwards campaign aide who has claimed that he is the real father of Hunter's baby. When Young moved to California, he brought along his wife and children. His wife is either really, really easygoing about infidelity, or she knows that her husband is taking the fall for Edwards.)

That brings us to (E), the photo of Edwards holding a baby. It's probably not from the same night that Enquirer reporters confronted Edwards -- the text accompanying the photos never says that it is, and his shirt doesn't match the dress shirt that both he and the Enquirer say he was wearing that night.

Enquirer editor-in-chief David Perel has told the Washington Post that there was at least one other meeting between Hunter and Edwards at the Hilton. Presumably we'll learn more. It's become clear that the Enquirer has been intentionally holding things back and letting them trickle out slowly, the better to sell papers.

In his Nightline interview, Edwards repeatedly derided the National Enquirer, dismissing it as just another supermarket tabloid printing spurious rumors.

Now, it's true that the Enquirer doesn't adhere to standard journalistic practices. The tabloid routinely pays sources for information, which can invite mischief if sources are greedy and dishonest.

But at this point in the story, it's no longer the supermarket tabloid that has the big credibility problem -- it's John Edwards. your child's father -- especially when you've already made public assertions about the child's paternity on the record?

Bio

------------------------------------------

Johnny Reid "John" Edwards (born June 10, 1953 in Seneca, South Carolina, USA) is an American politician who served one term as U.S. Senator from North Carolina. He was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, and was a candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination through the January primaries, until dropping out, and later endorsing Senator Barack Obama.

He defeated incumbent Republican Lauch Faircloth in North Carolina's 1998 Senate election and toward the end of his six-year term sought the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2004 presidential election.

He eventually became the 2004 Democratic candidate for Vice President, the running mate of presidential nominee Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. After Edwards and Kerry lost the election to incumbents George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Edwards began working full time at the One America Committee, a political action committee he established in 2001, and was appointed director of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law. He was also a consultant for Fortress Investment Group LLC.

Edwards was born June 10, 1953 to Wallace Reid Edwards and Catharine Juanita "Bobbie" Edwards (née Wade) in Seneca, South Carolina. The family moved several times during Edwards' childhood, eventually settling in Robbins, North Carolina, where his father worked as a textile mill floor worker, eventually promoted to supervisor; his mother had a roadside antique finishing business and then worked as a postal letter carrier when his father left his job.

A football star in high school, Edwards was the first person in his family to attend college. He attended Clemson University and transferred to North Carolina State University. Edwards graduated with high honors earning a bachelor's degree in textile technology in 1974, and later earned his Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) with honors.

While at UNC, he met Elizabeth Anania, who is four years his senior. They married in 1977 and eventually had four children (Wade in 1979, Cate in 1982, Emma Claire in 1998, and Jack in 2000). Their son Wade was killed in a car accident when strong winds swept his Jeep off a North Carolina highway in 1996. Three weeks before his death, Wade Edwards was honored by First Lady Hillary Clinton at The White House as one of the 10 finalists in an essay contest sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Voice of America for an essay he wrote on entering the voting booth with his father. Wade, accompanied by his parents and sister, went on to meet North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms, who entered Wade's essay and his obituary into the congressional record. Edwards and his wife began the Wade Edwards Foundation in their son's memory; the purpose of the nonprofit organization is "to reward, encourage, and inspire young people in the pursuit of excellence." The Foundation funded the Wade Edwards Learning Lab at Wade's high school, Broughton High School in Raleigh, along with scholarship competitions and essay awards.

On November 3, 2004, Elizabeth Edwards revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She was treated via chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and continued to work within the Democratic Party and her husband's One America Committee. On March 22, 2007, during his campaign for the 2008 Democratic nomination for the presidency, Edwards and his wife announced that her cancer had returned; she was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, with newly discovered metastases to the bone and possibly to her lung. They said that the cancer was "no longer curable, but is completely treatable" and that they planned to continue campaigning together with an occasional break when she requires treatment.

Sen. John Edwards' Adultery Sex Scandal and Love Child Controversy

Barack Obama's Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a Racist, Racist Tapes Leaked by Hillary Clinton's Campaign

Another week another Huge Scandal in American politics. Barack Obama Pastor Jeremiah Wright who marry Obama to his wife, baptized his kids and is even credited by Obama in his book. It has now become public that Wright is a racist as a reult of leaks by associates of the Clinton Campaign. Wright at one point even said white people should be hung from trees, and God damn America. Many video and audio tapes were sent to media outlets yesterday.

Barack Obama was forced to distance himself yesterday from his former pastor and religious mentor, who has made racially charged criticisms of Hillary Clinton and suggested that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, showed that “America’s chickens are coming home to roost”.

The black liberationist theology of the Rev Jeremiah Wright, who retired last month from the Chicago church attended by Mr Obama, has previously barely flickered as an issue in the presidential race.

In the past 48 hours, however, after a week in which both Democratic candidates have had to jettison supporters for making controversial statements, Mr Wright has emerged as a significant problem for Mr Obama.

TV networks have constantly replayed videos of sermons in which the pastor, who married Mr Obama and baptized his children, denounces the United States. The campaign of Hillary Clinton began circulating material on the pastor yesterday and the news media have devoted hours to the subject within the last 24 hours.

One video shows Mr Wright speaking after 9/11. “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans,” he said, “and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own frontyards.”

In another sermon Wright suggested the U.S. may have had a role in creating and spreading the AIDS virus.

In another sermon he said that the Government “wants us to sing ‘God Bless America’ ” despite treating black people as second-class citizens. “No, no, no,” Mr Wright said, “God damn America!”

More recently, he has said that Mr Obama “knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich, white people; Hillary would never know that, Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger”.

Mr Obama’s campaign failed to answer repeated questions from The Times and other media organizations yesterday about whether Mr Wright was still a member of his African American religious leadership committee. Instead, he issued a statement categorically denouncing “inflammatory and appalling remarks [Mr Wright] made about our country, our politics, and my political opponents”.

Stressing that he had not been present when Mr Wright made the offending statements, Mr Obama said that he had become aware of them just over a year ago and had remained part of the church only because the pastor was retiring. He added: “He has never been my political adviser; he’s been my pastor.”

Previously, Mr Obama has described the man who brought him to religion 20 years ago as a “sounding board” who had offered private advice and joined him in prayer before he decided to run for president. The title of his autobiography, The Audacity of Hope, is taken from one of Mr Wright’s sermons.

At a meeting with a Jewish group in Ohio this month, Mr Obama said: “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial” as he compared Mr Wright’s controversial views to those of “an old uncle”.

Mrs Clinton’s campaign has so far declined to comment, possibly because of a three-minute conversation the two candidates were seen having in the Senate on Thursday. Aides said later that they had been discussing how to take some of the heat out of recent attacks.

There is, however, growing alarm within the Democratic Party over the apparent polarization of voters along lines of gender, class and, especially, race in recent primaries. Mrs Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, suggested this week that if Mr Obama could not win over Pennsylvania’s largely white and heavily Catholic vote next month, he would not be able to win the general election in November.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned as New York Governor Over Prostitution Sex Scandal

Source: GutterUncensored.com
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned from office Wednesday, succumbing to threats of impeachment and mounting media pressure over his involvement with a high-end prostitution ring. Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the nationally known do-gooder who suffered a jaw-dropping fall from grace this week after being accused of frequenting a high-price call girl ring.

Kristen’s profile off the now defunct Emperor’s Club website, She is the last Prostitute visited by Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

Speaking to reporters in New York, where he had been holed up with his advisors since the career-ending sex scandal broke Monday, Spitzer said he had failed to live up to the standards expected of public officials.

"Over the course of my public life I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct," Spitzer told reporters, flanked by his wife.

"I can and will ask no less of myself. For his reason I am resigning from the office of governor," the ashen-faced governor said, adding: "I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people's work."

"The remorse I feel will always be with me," he added.

Spitzer, 48, the one-time "Sheriff of Wall Street," would on Monday formally hand over to Lieutenant Governor David Paterson, who would become the state's first black governor and the first blind governor in US history.

Lt. Gov. David Paterson, 53, will take his place effective Monday, becoming New York's first African-American governor and the nation's first who is legally blind. Paterson released his own statement following the announcement.

"Like all New Yorkers, I am saddened by what we have learned over the past several days," he said. "On a personal level, Governor Spitzer and Silda have been close and steadfast friends. As an elected official the governor has worked hard for the people of New York. My heart goes out to him and to his family at this difficult and painful time. I ask all New Yorkers to join Michelle and me in prayer for them."

Paterson, considered more liberal and accommodating than his pugnacious former boss, immediately sought to draw a line under Spitzer's term, which has been marked by deadlock since he took over last year.

"It is now time for (state capital) Albany to get back to work as the people of this state expect from us," the governor-in-waiting said.

Wednesday's resignation marked a dramatic fall from grace for Spitzer, a Hillary Clinton ally once considered presidential material and known as "Mr Clean" for taking down organized crime and tackling Wall Street corruption.

Republicans in the state assembly had on Tuesday given Spitzer 48 hours to quit or face impeachment, while New York newspapers had also called for the governor to do the right thing and stand down.

Spitzer could still face federal criminal charges and New York prosecutors pointedly denied they had made a deal with Spitzer, amid earlier reports he had agreed to quit in return for avoiding charges such as money laundering.

His resignation came as further details emerged of his use of prostitutes, with the New York Post saying he had spent up to 80,000 dollars on call girls going back 10 years to his time as New York state attorney general.

Spitzer, a father of three, initially indicated on Monday that he did not intend to step down, labeling the scandal "a private matter."

Appearing alongside his wife of more than 20 years, Spitzer apologized for his behavior but did not make any specific admissions.

But by Tuesday, talks were already reportedly going ahead in the state capital Albany to ensure a smooth transition to Paterson.

Spitzer was allegedly caught on a federal wiretap last month arranging to meet a prostitute at a hotel in Washington, where he was due to address the US congress the following day.

But reports suggested investigators first started probing Spitzer's affairs when his bank reported him to tax authorities over suspicious transfers from which he had asked the bank to remove his name.

He was believed to have used an exclusive ring known as the "Emperor's Club VIP," which was broken up by New York authorities last week.

According to reports, Spitzer was the "Client 9" named in a criminal complaint filed by prosecutors last week.

The complaint suggested Client 9 had used the prostitution ring's services before and detailed how he arranged to have a prostitute named Kristen brought from New York to Washington.

According to the complaint, the client paid her 4,300 dollars and left after around two hours.

Spitzer still faces the threat of criminal charges. "There is no agreement between this office and Governor Eliot Spitzer relating to his resignation or any other matter," Michael Garcia, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Wednesday.

White House press secretary Dana Perino responded to Spitzer's resignation by repeating that President Bush views it as a "sad situation."

"He has Gov. Spitzer and Gov. Spitzer's family in his thoughts and prayers," Perino said. "And he looks forward to working with Lt. Gov. Paterson when he takes over the post on Monday."

Asked if Bush planned to call Spitzer, Perino said: "I certainly think that's possible."

Spitzer's resignation came after only 14 months in office and less than 48 hours since news broke that a federal complaint detailing the actions of a "Client 9" referred to the former prosecutor once known as "Mr. Clean."
