John Edwards Discourages Sympathy Votes, Encourages Sympathy Cash

edwards_family-thumb_0.jpgJohn Edwards told 60 Minutes tonight that he does not want sympathy votes because his wife Elizabeth has suffered a recurrence of breast cancer.

“Do not vote for us because you feel some sympathy or compassion for us. That would be an enormous mistake,” he said. “The vote for the presidency is far too important for any of those things to influence it.”

“That said,” he continued, “if the sight of my potentially motherless children and my despair-riddled boyish face creates a groundswell of sympathy that demands relief, we will have a responsibility to do something about it. So, I’d like to announce that there will be a new, special donation button on our website, an emotional pressure release valve, if you will, for the outpouring of compassion that will no doubt be created by this awesome blend of charm, tragedy, and great hair.”
