→Scandal: -- Cancelled all public appearances until after election
Many people believe there are elements of the scandal that are still being glossed over. Apparently, a close political friend of John Edwards had been sending Hunter $15,000 a month, an occurrence that Edwards says he knew nothing about and may just be due to the kindness of his friend's philanthropy helping out a person in distress.

It removed him from Vice President consideration, hampered all hopes for Presidential convention speeches and of his becoming Attorney General, should a Democrat win in November. Furthermore, Edwards cancelled all public appearances until after the election, recognizing that his presence could only be a detriment to his party.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,417042,00.html</ref>
