yup
In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter’s baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.
Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby’s birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.
A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.
So the girl was a political groupie?

Yeah, the girlfriend and I were just in Wrigleyville to grab some lunch and some shirts. We didn’t even know he’d be there today, let alone signing autographs outside the park. It was a great day for 8-8-08!
Back to my question though, when he sang, “root root root,” what did he end up singing? Cubbies? Chicago??? Just some random trivia I was wondering about; I was out of the room during this part of the song.
