In an article and video published by the UK's Daily Mirror, John and Elizabeth Edwards talk about what's happened to our role in world affairs and what the US needs to do now to make things right.
Elizabeth was feeling a bit off apparently, having just gone through cancer treatment.
Elizabeth Edwards says she does not want to be photographed.
"I've been with my doctor this morning. I'm pumped full of stuff. So please, take any pictures you want with John. Just not me."
That she has agreed to talk with us only hours after her latest cancer treatment is testimony to her strength.
That she later insists on being in the picture with her husband and children speaks volumes.
When the time for that photo comes, she doesn't want to be the missing face in her family. Not yet.Tomorrow Pennsylvania is the location for the last major primary in the Democratic race for the White House between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The polls have Clinton leading in a state she must win to keep her campaign alive, and reduce Obama's national lead. The contest looks like going down to the wire and the support Edwards attracts makes him a potential kingmaker.
It's a role he denies. But, for a man who was John Kerry's running mate for the White House in 2004, and who many still believe would be the best Dem presidential rival to Republican John McCain in November, he seems destined to remain centre-stage.
With his wife right there beside him.
Watching the video, John's body language is striking. He's not running for anything, he just cares about this stuff and has ideas. He cares deeply for all the world's citizens. But that's how it was a year before he started his campaign.

to be honest, it's those very things that made me think he might forge ahead with one corps as a "post politics" process...and it's a bit of a surprise to me that he hasn't--and the fact that he shut down the website and seems to have "withdrawn" from the active race is even more surprising.
