What's Next For 'John Edwards'

Following Elizabeth Edwards funeral over the weekend , her estranged husband , John Edwards , is quietly devising a plan on how to prudently return to public life.

"John is a political animal , there can be no doubt about that ," a former friend of the politician says. "He knows that he self-destructed  [with the cheating scandal]  but believes  that with the right plan , and the power  of time , he'll be able to win back the hearts of the public.

Sources say that John's plan is to lay low for the next several months . John was last seen leaving his late wife's funeral on December 11, with his two children , Emma Claire . 12 ,and Jack, 10 , who are both now living  with their father . Over the next year John will focus on being a full-time dad raising them both without a mother .

However , don't expect John to disappear from  public view for long .

"John is very ambitions  and that's something you just can't turn off . If he can prove  that he is a loving father and is willing to spend his time , money  and fame helping out great causes  , that could help  clean up his  tarnished image ," an insider said .

What kind of causes  you ask ? "Expect him to work hard for disadvantaged children who have lost a parent  or volunteer for a   cancer charity ," the source reveals . John wants to do something good.

Let's take a look : I have a difficult time picturing John Edwards winning any office ...even  dog-catcher  . The good will just isn't there  and I don't see it returning  anytime soon . Still , I will never say never . Look how many people  we're seen disgraced  in the public eye do a   'mea  culpa'  and turn it around .

Americans can be a mean group of people , but we are a forgiving group . So here's a few pointers : Raise  your kids with love ; never forget your blessings  for the time you spent with Elizabeth ; don't hide  , let the public see and hear from you , and don't  ever , ever  marry your babys' mama . 

"John Edwards Kicks Baby's Mama To The Curb" WTF !!!

Top secert documents exclusively provide undeniable proof that John Edwards is the father of his mistress' love child - and show that she's asking for nearly $18,000 a month in support !But Rielle Hunter's grab so infuriated the disgraced presidential candidate that, sources say, be basically tossed her and their daughter out on the street just days before they were set to move into a home he'd brought for them. Edwards had been preparing to publicly admit he is the baby's father. The child support negotiations have taken an ugly turn, Rielle is ready to drag the former North Carolina sentor into court. Edwards thought he had sweeten the deal by getting Rielle a house, but she didn't think what he offered to pay in regular support for their daughter was fair . John was so angry that he wouldn't let Rielle move into the house, even with a moving van full of her belonging enroute.
So Rielle found herself without a place to live - no agreement with John for their daughter's long-term support, she's absolutely furious ,and may take the whole thing public! the abrupt breakdown betweenEdwards,56, and the 45-year-old blonde divorcee came as Edwards was preparing a statement that would finally confrim he'd fathered Rielle's daughter, Frances. In a letter, Edwardsstress that Rielle consider all aspects of support, noting: The more difficult aspect is that when a child is very young,as (Frances) is, there arem't the additional expenses associated with older children, such as, activites, schools, cars, etc. Nevertheless, at this point , I think it imperative that you begin to prepare a budget for yourself and (Fances).
Lets take a look in detail both "current" and "anticipated" monthly expenses for Rielle and their daughter....the biggest "anticipated" expense is a #3,000 monthly mortgage payment for a home purchased "either by Defendent or a Trust." Adding in household expenses, a cellphone and cable TV, Rielle claimed to need $4,485 a month to cover her basic costs. As for "personal" needs, Rielle lists $800 for eating at "restaurants," $250 for "hair" care,"$400 for "domestic help," $300 for "sports and hobbies," $1,500 for "preschool," $2,100 for "babysitting," $1,200 for a "security guard," and other expenses that total $12,850. Throw in $575 for "transportetion" costs on her 2004 BMW SUV, and Rielle claims she'll need $17,910 a month to live and raise her child.Edwards blew his top and told her no way, was she mad. Rielle told Edwards , she'll find her own home and will see him in court. It's driven a new wedge between them.
Edwards has been shunned since he was forced to admit cheating on his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth after the ENQUIRER exposed his mistress and love child in a series of bloclbuster exclusive stories.He'd hope to "get on with is political life" by making the paterity announcement, but it's now uncertain if he'll make that admission. And before the cutody fight got ugly, Edwards arranged a sercet meeting with Frances and his parents at Rielle's home before Thankagivng, sources say. Eswards wanted his father Wallace and his mother Bobbie to meet Frances before he publicly announced paternity. Edwards really bonded with Frances. The get-together was a huge step for John. At the time , he clearly wanted to put all the lies behind him. To be continued:
My spin on this crap: For one thing John and Rielle stink to high hell and they both have the morals of an alley cat, and that's being nice. It's a shame that so many people are being hurt because one old fool wants to put his cock in every hole he see's and the bimbo sees a chance of getting a free ride. Elizabeth put her faith and trust in Edwards when she needed him most and what did she get? A slap in the face ...and little Frances, she will suffer the most. Her little life has just begun. Okay folks in Carolina, wake up, let old John fade into the night...but hey, thats just me.
Kicking back and keeping it real.....
