John Edwards: ‘We feel incredibly optimistic.’

Former Democratic Senator John Edwards will continue to pursue 2008 Presidential bid.

John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, announced today that the cancer which beset his wife, Elizabeth, at the close of his last campaign in 2004 has returned. But the couple, appearing together, said resolutely that they plan to carry on the campaign.

“The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly,’’ said the candidate. “When this happens, you have a choice. You can go cower in the corner and be afraid… or you can go stand up for what you believe in… We have no intention of cowering in the corner.’’

My prayers goes out to Elizabeth Edwards and her family, I wish them well.
