Rielle Hunter has decided to break her silence and get her child's father named. Hunter decided to abandon the "cover-up" over the paternity of her daughter after learning about the contents of Elizabeth Edwards' book, in which she reportedly refers to the baby only as "it" and does not name Hunter.
I predict one of two things.
Scenario 1: Hunter will start driving a new Lambo and move into a huge house and decide that the paternity test is too traumatic for her daughter Frances to endure.
Scenario 2: Rielle and Frances disappear. Edwards decides to take a page from Clinton's play book and has the two "disposed" of.
Either scenario is typical of the Democratic party. I am very confident this child was fathered by John Edwards. It is not surprising that he, like many other Dems, has no paternal feelings for this child. Who loses in this fight? Frances. This poor child will grow up either being lied to about who her father is or with the feeling of abandonment because her sperm donor is more interested in his political career than he is her.
In case John didn't know, his political career lasted about as long as making this child did.
The story below is from www.foxnews.com
John Edwards' ex-mistress is reportedly interested in administering a DNA test to determine who is the father of her 1-year-old daughter after Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, sparked fresh questions over whether it might be her husband.
The former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate denied being the father of Frances Quinn Hunter during a television interview in August. But Elizabeth Edwards, in an interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" set to air Thursday afternoon, left open the door on whether her husband was telling the truth.
"I've seen a picture of the baby," she said. "I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children, but I don't have any idea."
On Wednesday, one day after Oprah's production company released excerpts of the interview, The National Enquirer reported that Rielle Hunter, John Edwards' former mistress, is working with a lawyer to seek a paternity test from him.
That's a turnabout from last August, when Hunter's attorney Robert Gordon released a statement saying she "will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter's privacy now or in the future."
Edwards said at the time that he would "welcome" a paternity test, and that because of the "timing" of his affair "it's not possible that this child could be mine." But he indicated that his apparent willingness to take the test would lead nowhere unless Hunter consented.
"I'm only one side. I can run only one side of the test, but I'm happy to participate in one," Edwards said at the time.
It's unclear whether Edwards would be as willing to submit to a test if Hunter is on board with the idea. When it was initially reported that Edwards was the love child's father, a former aide to the ex-senator, Andrew Young, claimed paternity.
Gordon, reached by FOXNews.com Thursday, said he did not know whether Hunter was seeking a paternity test and that he no longer represents her.
"I haven't been involved in that in a long time," Gordon said. "I can't speak to anything. I don't know anything."
Pigeon O'Brien, a former close friend of Hunter's who publicly questioned Edwards' account of the affair last year, said in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that she didn't know whether Hunter is seeking a paternity test. But she added: "It all has to do with [Elizabeth Edwards'] book and the resulting chaos."
In her book, "Resilience," due out next week, Elizabeth Edwards calls Hunter's life "pathetic" and writes that she threw up when she learned of her husband's affair.
A source reportedly told the Enquirer that Hunter decided to abandon the "cover-up" over the paternity of her daughter after learning about the contents of Elizabeth Edwards' book, in which she reportedly refers to the baby only as "it" and does not name Hunter.
While Andrew Young, a former Edwards campaign aide, claimed to be the father of Frances Hunter, another former campaign worker told FOXNews.com last summer that he and Hunter had "no relationship." The birth certificate for Frances Quinn Hunter does not list a father.
The question of paternity isn't the only matter still dogging Edwards in the wake of the affair and his subsequent confession. Federal investigators are also looking into how he's managed his campaign funds -- finance questions arose last year after his political action committee paid more than $100,000 to Hunter's company for the production of short videos.
