John and Elizabeth Edwards to Hold Press Conference at 12:00 Tomorrow

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

I know John Edwards cancelled a campaign event to be with Elizabeth in NC while she underwent medical tests earlier this week. I sure hope she's ok.

UPDATE: Daily Kos speculates on how serious this might be:

1. I hope she's okay too.

Thanks for the heads up, CKB.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. This could be bad.. I really hope it is not, tho.

[proud patriot]

3. My positive energy is heading their way

:) I too hope all is well

[Lex]

5. I'm very worried.

He cancelled a planned event to be by her side at this medical appointment today, and now he's planning a press conference tomorrow with her?

:scared:

[Colobo]

4. Doesn't sound right to me

Not to be negative, but why make a press conference if everything is OK?

[Colobo]

6. By the way, John Edwards and Elizabeth only deserve happiness

They are GOOD people... why do they have to go through so much?

[Lex]

9. Exactly what I was thinking. I like them both so much.

I hope everything is okay.

[WiseButAngrySara]

13. I know. Why do GOOD people have to suffer? Age-old

question.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. uh oh

that's bothersome.

[rurallib]

8. Damn I hope it's not what I am thinking

She is so wonderful. John's ok, too. (little levity, ok?)

[tnlefty]

10. I'm hoping that Mrs. Edwards is well,

but this press conference just seems as though she isn't and he will no longer be a candidate because she isn't well.

I hope that I'm wrong. I'm going to light a candle with hope that Elizabeth is going to be just fine.

[WiseButAngrySara]

15. Good idea. A candle lit for the Edwards. ....n/t

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

11. I hope everything is alright

It makes me so mad when the best people have the worst luck.

[WiseButAngrySara]

12. CNN just reported that the news is likely not good.... n/t

[SeattleGirl]

16. Oh, crap.

:(

[Neecy]

14. I hope she's okay

Damn...I like Edwards and Elizabeth is terrific. Let's hope it's just an update.

[Colobo]

17. Someone took once a picture of true love, and this is how it looks

[ElizabethDC]

18. I love that picture

thanks for posting it. They're such a wonderful couple and I wish them the best!

[WiseButAngrySara]

19. Oh god, don't make me cry! ...n/t

[Bucky]

42. They are an awesome couple. Absolutely inspiring.

God bless you, Elizabeth Anania Edwards.

[bdamomma]

20. oh geez, don't tell me her cancer has re surfaced again, oh,

she is so nice, and John is the type of person where he will always support her. I will try to think positive thoughts for the both of them.

[libnnc]

21. Fuck

I hate that fucking disease more than I can say. :nuke:

[bdamomma]

24. me too cancer and alzheimers, they need to find cures for these

dreadful diseases, let's hope for the best for Elizabeth and John.

[Poiuyt]

22. I'm hoping for the best, but I fear the worst

[ms liberty]

23. I'm a 9 year (and counting) survivor of breast cancer...

I was treated at Duke, which is one of the best in the country for cancer. Does anyone know where she had her tests? It sounds like she had her testing here in NC. I know she was treated originally somewhere else, but Duke is close to home for them and would be a good place for her checkups. I'm sending prayers and good vibes their way, and hoping that this is NOT bad news...

[Lex]

25. Maybe UNC Medical Center?

Not sure though.

:hug: to you about your fight too.

[LittleClarkie]

26. Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!

I hope it's not what I'm thinking. I love her. Sometimes I wish SHE was the one running. So down to earth.

Praying even as we speak.

[WillyT]

27. WaPo Story Here:

Sigh...

[question everything]

38. Thank you for the link

Sigh, indeed..

[Justice]

28. small inkling of hope from this sentence

"Edwards had cut short a trip to Iowa Tuesday night to be with his wife Wednesday but still attended a barbecue fundraiser later in the evening in their hometown of Chapel Hill, N.C."

I read "later in the evening" to mean Wednesday evening.

John would not have left Elizabeth alone Wednesday night if the medical test result were grim.

From that I have hope.

[renate]

37. good point

I certainly hope that if the news isn't a clean bill of health, it only means something manageable--like another round of treatment with high hopes of full recovery.

She is such a graceful, lovely person. And that family has already been through too much.

:hug: and prayers for them.

[progressoid]

29. OMG........

Lets hope it's something minor.

please please please

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

30. Warmest positive thoughts to Mrs. Edwards

Best wishes to the Edwards family.

[momophile]

31. good vibes for Elizabeth

take care, good woman, take care.

[David Zephyr]

32. Come On! Elizabeth & John. We are pulling for you both.

!

[barb162]

33. Let's hope she's okay

[Divernan]

34. Edwards would drop candidacy to be w/wife; Gingrich pressed for divorce.

There you have a striking difference between the kind of leadership which rises to the top in the two parties.

[Nikki Stone1]

40. Good point

Let's hope Elizabeth is all right

[Booster]

35. Candle lit in this house. Good vibes being sent across the country.

:grouphug:

[troubleinwinter]

36. Holding all best thoughts for John and Elizabeth and family.

[jannyk]

39. Shit! I just heard this on MSNBC - it sounded ominous

a real downer after all of today's good news and forward momentum. I hope to hell she's ok - but it didn't sound positive. Be strong Elizabeth and be well!

[northzax]

41. Even the Freepers are keeping their normal bile in check

mostly. it's the cleanest thread I have ever read over there, and most of them on it give me hope for the actual goodness of people. Of course, they have their jerks (as do we) but they get slammed down on a topic like this.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1804718/posts?q=1&&page=1

count me in the 'this is not good' camp. now if I can just figure out how Hillary is behind this...

[Colobo]

43. People are, for the most part, inherently good

The common sense of humanity is most of the times stronger than ideological divisions.

[SeattleGirl]

44. Good to see that.

I keep thinking about a line in M*A*S*H by Hawkeye, when someone (probably Frank Burns) was griping about him treating a North Vietnamese soldier who had been wounded and brought in to the OR:

"The uniforms come off when they come in here."

Sometimes politics and parties don't matter.

[liberalpragmatist]

45. This makes me nervous

I truly hope Elizabeth's health is okay and that if there is something wrong they will get through this. Their family has already been through so much.

I also hope this doesn't mean that Edwards is dropping out, as he was one of my favorites (although I like Obama a lot too and hadn't decided between the two of them). Obviously if his wife has any serious health issues that should come first.

[fortyfeetunder]

46. No speculating.

Let's have a positive vibefest and keep it up regardless of the outcome!
