Note! Scroll down for late-breaking update, including the name and picture of the woman.
Matt Drudge is reporting a major breaking story, published by the National Enquirer, which contends that Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards is embroiled in a love-child scandal in which the mother is being kept in hiding.
The woman, who has not yet been named, is purportedly carrying Edwards' child and is being kept out of public view.
This still-developing story is short on details at this point. For this reason a link will be provided below that will take you directly to the Drudge Report website for further updated information.
If this story turns out to be true, it will sound the death-toll for the Edwards campaign. You can bet your last birth control pill that Americans, even within the Democratic Party, are not going to stand for a candidate who sires a love child while his wife is dying of cancer.

um, are really that desperate as to take the national enquirer seriously?
Over the past few years the accuracy in reporting level of the Enquirer has exceeded that of the New York Times.
So which is the 'serious' newspaper?
The other factor is that Matt Drudge has built his reputation on putting reliable stories at the top of his blog--stories from reputable sources.
This is why Mr. Drudge is taken VERY seriously by other reporters and the mainstream media, though they tend to claim his stuff is not 'hard news.'
Yet they keep asking him to speak at their gatherings...
I admit it...I'm the mother of Edwards child!!!
i don't think this story is true, I went and checked out a picture of Rielle Hunter...she looks old and haggard...John is prettier than her!!
Pris,
Well, the Breck Girl apparently found him someone to give him a bit of TLC while wifey-pooh was having cancer treatments.
And since he is using his wife's cancer in his latest TV ads, if this story turns out to be true he will be run out of the country on a rail. Having to drop out of the race will be the least of his worries...
I just don't think hes that stupid-or that much of an asshole...
WHAT!? The man was an ambulance-chaser. He made his fortune suing the pants off of OB-GYNs in North Carolina, contributing to the shortage in the specialty.
I haven't met an ambulance chaser yet who wasn't a sleazebag, a liar, and a complete asshole.
Better open up your eyes, Pris.
You can't sue someone unless you have a cause for action, so lets stop with the "ambulance chasing" rhetoric.
Excuse me? I happen to think the term 'ambulance chaser' fits Edwards very well.
