'''John Edwards''' is a prominent [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] politician and was [[John Kerry]]'s Vice Presidential running mate for the 2004 presidential elections. He is known for his advocacy of [[Populism|populist]] policies. A contender for the 2008 [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] nomination for president, John Edwards' campaign was mired with allegations that he had had an affair with Rielle Hunter. Although he and his wife knew that these rumours were true, they admitted them only after Edwards had withdrawn from the race, following dismal results in the Florida primaries. Elizabeth Edwards drew criticism for not revealling this information, and risking the potential for a presidential scandal if Edwards had won the election.
