John Edwards actually said...

"This is not going to affect the campaign. It's going to keep going ahead strongly."

"John Edwards was very clear early on that her health came first and came first before any of his political ambitions."

"He's running on a platform that's adjusted a little bit from the way that he was running in the early going in 2004, before he became the running mate."

"He thinks that he's in a good place. So definitely had a real chance, a real shot at the nomination here."
