John Edwards admits to having an affair

OMG I can't believe he ran for president anyway. How did he expect to keep this under wraps in a presidential campaign? I hope he's barred from the convention.

The weirdest part is he admitted to the affair but added he didn't love the other woman. Why did he tell the last part to the media? Did Elizabeth kick him out and blocked his number so the only way he can communicate to her is through the nightly news?
