I know it seems like cruel gossip. That is what I thought about the Edwards affair also. As it turns out, for Edwards it was true. I sincerely hope this is NOT true. I think Sarah Palin is a smart, beautiful woman. But this scenario is possible. I am not trying to change anyone's mind. I am speculating about questions that exist in the news. I really hope that it is gossip with absolutely no basis in fact. I hope for all their sakes that a left wing nut made these things up and that the Palins will be vindicated. I wished that for Edwards also.
