John Edwards asks to delay trial, citing illness

John Edwards

Former presidential candidate John Edwards says he has been diagnosed with a medical condition that would make it difficult for him to attend his approaching criminal trial over campaign finance...

Senh: It just gets worse for John Edwards. Maybe he needs to hire Elliot Spitzer's crisis manager to straighten this mess out. Spitzer seems to have put his infidelity behind him. It might have been easier for him since it was just a prostitute. Edwards not only had a mistress, he also had an illegitimate child with her and then tried to cover it up. It's the stuff of movies. I'm not sure how he should fight this. He should just come clean with everything, deal with the consequences, and put this whole chapter behind him. Dragging it on doesn't help.
