THE CAMPAIGN IS GOING ON!!!!!

[Gloria]

[Debau2005]

1. YEAH!

[bmcatt]

2. Woo-hoo!

As soon as he said that they're not suspending anything, I started clapping.

[Le Taz Hot]

3. Are you referring to Edwards?

Specifics?
Links?

[bmcatt]

7. Yes - Edwards

Even though Elizabeth's cancer has returned (and is in bone, not showing much in soft tissue, based on what they're saying), he's going to continue.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. If you pray, this is the time to do it, for her and him

[Eurobabe]

5. Wow, that is stunning.

[Dr.Phool]

6. Politico blows it again!!!

When are they going to quit quoting these morans?

[RobertSeattle]

11. They should OUT the people who gave them that BULL

[Gloria]

8. John says they've gone through shit before and they are not the kind

to go and run and hide in a corner.

They will keep talking about things they believe in.


Eliz. says she will get tired sometime...but she's also 57 with young kids, so they make her tired, too.

She's immensely proud of John's campaign, based on real people, it would be easy to give it up if it were all about John Edwards....

It's a hurdle, but she's seen people who have no place to turn so it's unbelievably important that we get this election right!!

[Gloria]

14. Alone in the hospital, she only wanted to talk about her children, the

country, her campaign, nothing about her. John really choked up but swallowed it....

[Gloria]

16. She wrenched her rib/back as she moved a big chest.....

"we have a new house, you might have heard about it"--LOL!!!

She says it's a blessing because the rib broke and they spotted the cancer.....

[bunkerbuster1]

23. Actually, he said "Cower" in a corner.

Good for them.

[RobertSeattle]

9. Great Job Press - what happened to the "Suspend Campaign"

[Lobster Martini]

10. Don't have CNN. Clue me in, please! n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Super. I expected the worst, really.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. That's good news! What about Elizabeth's health? That's my main concern.

What do we know? Anything yet?

[Mass]

15. The cancer has moved to the bone. Cannot be cured but can be treated.

Found early.

I am not a doctor, but, for all I know, it is not good news. I can only admire how upbeat she was.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. She's an AMAZING woman. I love her to death.

Bone cancer is never a good diagnosis.:( I'm so sad.

[bdamomma]

31. Bone cancer, that could be treated can't it? what is it a Bone

marrow transplant that could be done.

I found some information just in case anyone is interested.

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. Yes. A bone marrow transplant would be a treatment IF she finds a match. One of her children could

be a possible match, if not them, they go to other family members. If no one in the family matches, they go to the bone marrow bank. My B-I-L had Leukemia 30+ years ago. He had 5 brothers and 1 sister and one brother was a PERFECT match. He lives today because of that bone marrow transplant.


on edit:
DISREGARD this post. I've been told a bone marrow transplant only works with Leukemia patients.:(

[bdamomma]

33. thanks for your post, yes, my misunderstanding Bone Marrow

transplant is for Leukemia, not cancer.

[havocmom]

17. Folks, THIS is what a First Lady looks/acts like. Brave, humane, inspirational

I have always been a bit lukewarm about him, but she rocks and if she believes in him, I'll give him a closer look.

This is a classy woman with guts and strength. She is so good for America.

Strength and healing to a Great Lady and an inspirational American woman.

[havocmom]

26. Listening to him finish up... Ability to deal with many stresses and keep moving forward...

no hunker in the bunker, hide your weaknesses mentality.

Rethinking that closer look I decided to give. Think it will be a check instead. next week when I get paid. You have to have hope, whether fighting cancer of fighting to save America. This team inspires hope and vision. I'm in.

[InvisibleTouch]

18. Yes!!

Good news and bad news at the same time. If the cancer is in the bone, that's very bad - but at the same time, I'm impressed beyond belief that they're going forward. Actually, I'd have expected nothing less. Having that goal and that passion will be good for them both. The cowardly slimey Rethugs should take a lesson in character here.

[Gloria]

19. "Let me make it clear...." John will be with Elizabeth whenever she

needs him, no matter what.

But she intends to be with him as much as possible....

[NMDemDist2]

21. and I'm there!

their courage and level headedness have made me a believer

I'll be wearing out shoe leather for those two

[Gloria]

25. They are human beings, not a huge machine.....if character counts,

a phrase which has been crapped on by the originators....then these two are super human.

They are an inspiration.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. That is good news.

I went out to pick up lunch and didn't catch the news conference. CNN reported that he was suspending his campaign. They got it wrong.

[Mass]

24. Not really good news for her. She has bone cancer, I would not qualify that as good news.

[Gloria]

27. It isn't. I suspect she wants live as she dies....and she finds John and

his campaign to take back the country for regular people is her reason for living, along with her children.

[Gloria]

28. This is stage IV cancer. And there are still questions.

[spooky3]

29. details of what they said are in this thread

[hootinholler]

30. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

[David Zephyr]

34. Good for John and Elizabeth!

Great couple. Great people.
