It’s a family decision, but I’m mystified by John and Elizabeth Edwards’ decision to stay in the Presidential race (story here). If I’m John Edwards–a man who’s already lost a child–I think I’d want to spend as much time with my family as a whole while caring for my wife, Elizabeth, whose cancer has returned and has spread to the bone and possibly her lung.

It’s not like he needs a paycheck.
Does he think the country can’t live without him or something?
If it were a choice between my husband campaigning for a promotion or sticking around and spending as much time with me and the kids while I battled cancer, he’d choose me.
