...DEVELOPING...

NATIONAL ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: JOHN EDWARDS LOVE CHILD SCANDAL!

The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER's political bombshell comes just weeks after Edwards emphatically denied having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who formerly worked on his campaign.

But The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is pregnant, but she is also living in Chapel Hill, N.C. in a gated community, just a few streets away from Andrew Young, who has been a key official in Edwards' campaign.

Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to sources, and she has been careful to stay out of sight during Edwards' campaign. A former Director of Operations for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was North Carolina Finance Director.

He left that job about a month ago — nearly the same time Rielle relocated from the New Jersey area to Chapel Hill.

In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby.

But others are skeptical about his claim and talk of a political cover up is heating up.

Reille, when contacted in person by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER, denied that she was Reille Hunter. Later, she hired a lawyer and issued a statement, saying that Young is the father.

But a source close to the 43-year-old divorcee says Rielle has told a far different story privately.

"Rielle told me she had a secret affair with Edwards. When she found out that she was pregnant she said he was the father."

Rielle loves Edwards and will do anything to protect him, the source said.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has obtained exclusive photos of a visibly pregnant Rielle and learned from close sources that she has been in phone contact with Edwards. That information has not been denied by anyone.

"Rielle told me while Andrew Young is a friend, she's not romantically involved with him," says the source close to Rielle.

MORE DETAILS WILL BE POSTED HERE LATER AND ARE IN THE NEXT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER!

Because we all know the National Enquirer checks, re-checks, and then checks again.

One has to take this somewhat seriously. Some big stories have been broken in the recent past by NE. Do they have new editors or something?

Hardly surprising, and hardly important based on my humble opinion that Edwards has no shot at the presidency anyway.

Hillary eliminates one of her main rivals, especially in Iowa. So who gets the Edwards’ votes, the black guy or the white woman?

No longer the “silky pony,” it’s now “Long John” Edwards. I guess congratulations are in order.

Because we all know the National Enquirer checks, re-checks, and then checks again.

And just a co-inky-dink that the NE was purchased by a strong Clintonian a few years ago.

[NE was the publication that actually made the Lewinsky scandal known nationally.]

I think this means that Drudge, at least, thinks the story can be supported by evidence.

Although he vouched for the John Kerry affair story in 2004, too, which seemed to go nowhere.

Let me put it this way: if NE ever sites you as being in your “brave last days,” you’d better go get measured for a pine box. And I don’t care if you’re feeling like a million bucks when the articles runs! IN short, they’re more accurate than most of the leftwing mainstream media.

Edwards sends his wife suffering terminal cancer out to campaign for him,
to deflect criticism of him, while he beds another woman.

Good Democratic Presidential material.

I thought the Enquirer is operated by clinton toadies. Remember that the E reported on some of the Clinton indiscretions, years ago, in a way that it inoculated them against further criticism. Hillary! must not be good friends with Edwards. Maybe the Cliton team is giving up the idea of finishing lower to set her up as a comeback candidate. Maybe she got a fresh case of lamps and ashtrays.

I suspect they are tossing this bomb now because they don’t need it any more. Wait for the Obama slime grenade to be tossed out the Friday afternoon before New Hampshire (just like the Bush DUI).

The same paper that consistently tries to sell us that the Bush’s are getting divorced!!! I go to the grocery store and glance at the cover and they are always divorcing but you never hear it from the MSM.

Well the Mods didn’t like Drudge and The Enquirer as sources, but when Debka and Pravda confirmed it, they bowed to the inevitable.

He is a senator - and that was the one detail leaked.

Stories about BatBoy and Bigfoot aside, libelous stories about real people WILL get them sued if they have nothing to back up their allegations. Their legal dept is not suicidal

This was floated several months ago—Mickey Kaus at Slate had it—Edwards denied it adamantly and it stayed quiet for a couple of months. This woman was paid a substantial sum for her work on an Edwards documentary though she had no great experience in such things and did have online some confessions of a wild “youth”. At the time, there were reports of emails from her to “friends” confirming the truth of the rumor.

He was just trying to prove he was NOT gay—while firming up support with the ‘degenerate wing’ of the Party (headed by their hero, Bill Clinton).

Burkle is possible, Rush also mentioned that Billy Clinton was disolving some partnership with him after 5 yrs allegedly over some offshoring of investments to avoid taxes...

Hmm....
