John Edwards used his wife's illness as a political tool: he vowed that during his campaign he would be by her side at a moment's notice should her condition at any time deteriorate. I wanted to believe Mr. Edward’s words not because I care about his personal life; rather, I care about how his actions reflect the way he would treat US when we, the American people, are need. Now we know: he’s consumed with his ego and feels like he can do anything. His actions at all times are directly relevant to his ability to lead (to be Commander in Chief) and should be discussed openly. The fact that his wife would help him by hiding these ugly truths merely perpetuates a conception of femininity that should have ended by now.
