There is a website deciever.com that has the most extensive investigation into this, and one comment on that site speculates that Hunter has borderline personality disorder, which encourages a sort of idealization of focussed-on people; and Edwards is textbook narcissistic, just as he said, I suppose (I don't think the diagnosis includes that you can recover from it!). So possibly she was idealizing him and he was, well, believing it. Good for them. I mean, I imagine they have a future. But what would someone like Elizabeth Edwards have ever seen in a narcissist? They are not (according to the descriptions I've read) good parents; in fact they are huge burdens on their children. Just don't get it.
Also, the interview with E. Edwards on this site in 2007 has her saying, "There's just a lot less investigative reporting on political campaigns than there should be."
We are to believe she really said this while covering up her husband's donation-funded affair? It's not possible is it?
I just wish some honest, decent people would run for office. Once in my lifetime.
