John Edwards
In his second presidential campaign, Edwards ran as a populist, with a focus on poverty and health.
In an exclusive interview with "ET," Roxanne Druck Marshall told ET's Thea Andrews her heart goes out to Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, who has advanced breast cancer.
Marshall says, if she could, she would tell Elizabeth, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what my sister did and what her husband did, too. I mean, they both did it together. You don't make a baby with one person, and it's horrible. I mean, what she must be thinking, and feeling. I just... my heart goes out to her."
It should be noted that Edwards denies fathering Hunter's baby.
Andrews says Marshall described her family as hurt and embarrassed by what happened.
And, during a preview of the ET story, Andrews remarked to Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, "Roxanne tells me she believes John Edwards has her sister hidden away somewhere, so the press won't be able to find her."
Andrews added, "Roxanne says John Edwards has been untruthful in many of his statements to the media about the affair. She says that, contrary to what John Edwards says, the affair with her sister started long before she started working on the campaign, and that it never really ended; that they are still in contact today, that they've spoken recently, and that her sister is still very much in love with John Edwards."

Don''t worry the book she will write will make her very rich, you can stop this just so long, and he will go down even more, and his and her family will suffer even more humiliation. People like this only care about themselves
These people who assume that she doesn''t want to have a paternity test to "PROTECT" Edwards are shallow-thinkers.
Hunter refuses to have a paternity test.
There are plenty of reasons why she could have refused to reveal the paternity of the child other than the simplistic view that she "JUST WANTS TO PROTECT EDWARDS."
She may want to damage his marriage, so if the child is his, him not proving it hurts his marriage. She may have loved him, so when he said that he didn''t love her, she could have taken it personally, and doesn''t want to help him at all. There is also the possibility that the child isn''t Edwards'' or Young''s, which would be embarrassing for her and prove that she''s blackmailing these guys for money if she told one of them that it was their''s.
There is also a rumor out there that the child may be IN VITRO. Which would go along with that.

- I''m also embarrassed that our politicians have such poor taste in women that they choose to hump someone you can find at any local (low class) beer joint. Lisa Druck changed her name but couldn''t change her low life persona. John Edwards obviously gets his jollies from slumming...next time he''ll pick a TOOTHLESS crack ho!!
