Throughout his campaign for president and then vice president in 2004, former Sen.John Edwards of North Carolina made it clear that the death of his teenage son in a car accident was off-limits, not for discussion in a political context.

But now his wife, Elizabeth, has sent an e-mail to supporters voicing a connection she shares with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed inIraq. As Sheehan was camped nearPresident Bush's Texas ranch, protesting the war, Edwards called on her own family's backers to support Sheehan.
