Edwards: Noon announcement
Speculation on the Web is high about a noon announcement quickly thrown together by the John Edwards campaign in response to a health check up on his wife, Elizabeth. It is easy to surmise that it probably isn't good new or there would be no need for a press conference. Elizabeth was diagnosed with breast cancer late in the 2004 campaign but recovered from it. Cancer is a terrible thing for a family to go through ... I just can't imagine what a second bout would be like, if that is the situation. Here's hoping that everything works out for them.

Update: Elizabeth has cancer but her husband isn't suspending his campaign, despite press reports claiming that he would. I wonder if those reports were accurate or not. There is a good chance that the Edwards changed their minds late in the process.
