Report: Edwards Staff Planned to 'Blow Up' Campaign Over Affair

Members of former Sen. John Edwards' presidential campaign reportedly devised a "doomsday" strategy over his then-rumored affair if he appeared headed to win the Democratic nomination.

(Fox News) - Members of former Sen. John Edwards' presidential campaign reportedly devised a "doomsday" strategy over his affair with Rielle Hunter in which they would destroy his bid for office.

Several unnamed former campaign officials said they had prepared a plan in which they would sabotage Edwards' campaign if it appeared he would secure the Democratic nomination, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reported on Sunday.

"They were Democrats first, and if it looked like Edwards was going to become the nominee, they were going to bring down the campaign -- they were going to blow it up," Stephanopoulos said.
