Elizabeth Edwards is a woman to be admired. She is facing much uncertainty, pain and God knows what else. But she has decided that her husband's quest for the presidency is so important that she insists on carrying on as long as she is capable of doing so. John Edwards must have been torn between the true deep devotion he has for his wife, and whether or not he should end his campaign. From what I have heard from a person who knows them well, John was totally prepared to ditch the campaign, but his Elizabeth insisted that she wanted to be part of bringing positive change to the country while she still can, and urged her husband to go for it. I have no doubt that if Elizabeth's condition should take a turn for the worse, he will quit his campaign on a dime if necessary to be with her and support her.
