Love Child
That’d be a problem. If true. It would be a bigger problem if Edwards had a prayer. Teased on Drudge, reportedly posted at the National Enquirer’s site, though this morning I’m not finding anything there. Not sure what that means. NE’s earlier report of Edwardian romance was denied all around and appeared to be going nowhere, much like the campaign. Ironically enough, the Prell candidate was last seen in New Hampshire campaigning with Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, running on empty and trying to give voters something to talk about.

Here are some who saw the elusive love child link:

Macsmind high roads it: Edwards stank before the stink.
Meanwhile, pre-bombshell Edwards was a lover, not a fighter, McClatchy reports: Kinder, Gentler Edwards Reprises ‘04 Mr. Positive Role.
Hang on … NYT: It’s Edwards the Fighter in the Homestretch!

HouChron’s wire poll roundup
Here’s AP on Edwards’ bid to glam it up with Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon. Big questions: Is there a strawskank redemption? How many degrees of separation between National Enquirer and its story?

Welcome, Punditeers, Riehlists, Surberistas, etal. Always good to see you! If you haven’t finished your Xmas shopping, you may want to browse in McCafferty’s After Action Report. Something for everyone. Bricks are nice. Here are some exported from Mexico. Let’s have a carol. “God Bless Ye Merry Musselmen, Let Nothing You Dismay.” Here’s music to my ears. “Citizen Soldier.” OK, pop quiz time.

hell, it would give Edwards some free publicity at least. When was the last time he was even mentioned in the news?
He should release some stuff himself just to drum up some talk about him, good or bad. I think people are beginning to forget he’s running.

I can’t blame him for having something on the side. His wife is a shrewish moonbat.
