    Elizabeth Edwards dies at 61
    CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Elizabeth Edwards, who closely advised her husband in two bids for the presidency and advocated for health care even as her own health and marriage publicly crumbled, died Tuesday after a six-year struggle with cancer.
    She was 61. She died at her North Carolina home surrounded by her three children, siblings, friends and her estranged husband, John, the family said.

    RIP

            Oh I thought she stopped because they told her the prognosis was good. Dolt.

            I meant...1 day later... very odd. I think she probably stopped long ago, and someone wrote that for her.

                Not sure why this is news. When the child murderer George W Bush dies it will be news worthy.

                                      Nina: You're exactly right. Poor woman gets cancer and her husband cheats on her while she's dealing with cancer and possible mortality. John then has a child with the woman. Use damn protection for christ's sake. He had a long marriage and kids with Elizabeth. John is a scumbag. Hopefully she's in a better place and doesn't have to deal with his BS anymore.

                                            The real question is why did a 55 year old man with a wife and 3 children didn't get snipped.

                                              I'm beginning to think people can attempt to tie Bush to more topics than Kevin Bacon and movies

                                              So Tim, did you see the new Mustang coming out next year?

                                              reply from a progressive: No but Bush has horses so I won't drive anything associated with them!

                                              It's hilarious....really is

                                                    Hey moron, she had money and lots of it long before anyone knew who John Edwards was.

                                                    Regardless of her politics, she was a classy lady.

                                                        that's phucked up for anyone to have to die. It's even more phucked when people die around these holidays. My family has a history of people dying around the holidays so I know how it feels. Bless Elizabeth's soul don't know about all this higher being stuff but I wish her soul blessed, if soul's exist.

                                                              very weird. 1 hr before she died, they said on ET that doctors told her she has 3 months to live and that there's no hope. then 45 min later, she dies?? wow..

                                                              Cancer has got to be the worse way to go.. i prefer to drown.. 15 seconds is much better than 5 months of torture and then knowing you are going to die and preparing each day that you'll never be around again soon and then you wonder where you'll go.. this has got to be the scariest feeling ever.

                                                              I don't want to ever know when i'm going to die.

                                                                I don't want to ever know when i'm going to die.
                                                                Yeah, I'm still undecided on this. When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found out in Jan and died in May. But in the last month she finally asked them to stop treating her because the % of success was becoming minuscule and she wanted to remain coherent and enjoy the time she had left instead of going through more misery of chemo, radiation and surgery. So instead she made me videos of things she wanted me to know about being a woman and for those special events that she'd miss like my wedding and giving birth. If she had just died suddenly I wouldn't have had those memories of her and those DVDs are the first thing I pack safely when I've had to hop from country to country.

                                                                On the other hand, despite her seeming peaceful about it all, now that a few years have passed and i have a child of my own, I wonder how much of her positive attitude and acceptance of her situation was a front she put on for me. I can only imagine there were times she was shit scared of dying and thinking of her going through that yet trying to ensure I felt ok, breaks my heart.

                                                                Death sucks. And so does John Edwards. But in reality, none of us know how many times he cheated on her before she became sick and if she had never had cancer, he'd just be written off as another jerk politician/husband. Regardless of one's political leaning, you have to be pretty cold-hearted to not feel for what she had to deal with while trying to fight a despicable disease. RIP Elizabeth.
