and hope someone has an update.

6. In the Edwards group there's a link to an article in which there's a...

...single sentence saying that she's "responding well to treatment."

I find that disconcertingly brief.

I've been wondering the same thing. She and her husband are a couple of class acts.

15. The answer...

Dear Friend,

First of all, a belated happy New Year to everyone! The year has already gotten off to a busy start so I wanted to let you know how Elizabeth is doing and tell you about an important new mission that I am beginning.

Most importantly, Elizabeth is doing incredibly well. She is almost finished with her chemotherapy treatment, and her doctors are extremely encouraged by how well it is going. Throughout this entire process, she has been as strong as she was the day I first met her, and there is no doubt in my mind that she will beat this cancer. You must know that we draw tremendous strength and courage from all the support you have given us during this trying time, and we thank you for it. We are so fortunate to have friends like you and we will never forget all that you have done to help us through this.

As you may know, our family is planning on moving back to North Carolina after Emma Claire and Jack finish the school year. North Carolina is our home, we want our kids to grow up there, and we are very excited about going back. <...> Edwards Supporters Group

17. Thx for updating us!

Love you Elizabeth!:9

16. And John Edwards will be on CSPAN Saturday

John Edwards Returns To New Hampshire!

On Saturday, February 5, John Edwards is returning to New
Hampshire to speak at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's
annual 100 Club Dinner. His speech will begin around 8 pm, and
C-SPAN will be airing his speech LIVE. Check your local listings
for more information and tune in!

Also, Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne recently wrote this
about John Edwards:

"Edwards is well positioned to offer Third Way 3.0. He's a young
southerner, a working-class kid made good whose dad was a deacon
in his church. He speaks admiringly of Clinton's skills,
particularly the former president's ability to make others feel
that he identifies with their struggles.

"But Edwards's instincts tell him that tepid politics are
exactly what the Democrats don't need now. 'I don't think this
is about moderate, conservative, liberal,' he says. 'Americans
are looking for strength, an idealistic strength. They want to
know what we'd do on Day One if we ran the country.'

"Moral issues matter, Edwards says, but Democrats won't look
moral by getting into a bidding war over how often they can
invoke the name of God. Instead, Democrats should speak with
conviction about an issue that has always animated them: the
alleviation of poverty. 'I think it is a moral issue; it's
something we should be willing to fight about and stand up for,'
he says."

18. She will undergo a lumphectomy in March

because her chemo will be completed then. All the best Elizabeth - you are the greatest!

19. She is a dear person. I thank her for her efforts towards getting America

back to the people and hope she has a speedy recovery.
