More Edwards

She has suffered a relapse and he--likely at her behest--has decided to stay in the race. I think that's courageous. But, as per my below post, let's keep an eye out for accusations of opportunism and callousness.

Update: So far right wing commenters seem to be handling the Edwards thing with class. I like this from Jonah Goldberg, though:

I think it would be in very poor taste to second guess the Edwardses on this.  I also think it would be in very poor taste if Edwards exploits this in some overly political way. But he hasn't done that and may never do it. He had to give a press conference. And, from what I hear he did it with class and dignity. So, again, as long as the facts are what they are, leave them alone.

Kind words indeed, but--note--taylored to remind people that: 1). he reserves the option of hammer ing Edwards for opportunism at some point in the future; and 2). conservatives shouldn't get ahead of themselves and bash him just yet... after all, no need to risk the backfire that often follows expressing excessively vile criticism.
