I wonder if John Edwards would have been smarter to have admitted everything once his affair was Rielle Hunter was confirmed. Instead he has left himself open to a steady stream of news items as new information comes out. If he had admitted to paternity of their daughter this would be a much smaller story today but instead every new information suggesting this becomes news. The latest is that The National Enquirer claims that DNA testing done in secret confirmed that he is the father. I hate to use The National Enquirer as a sole source but they have been the ones who broke the story and their claims have so far been verified.
Update: WRAL News says that their sources say Edwards plans to admit paternity.
