Shoe About to Drop on John Edwards…
Edwards Lies Low, but That Won’t Last
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (By Kim Severson, New York Times) — Over the past few weeks, people in this tight-knit university community have not seen much of John Edwards.
They used to. He would hang out on a metal stool at Bowbarr, a short walk from the environmentally friendly condominium complex where he moved after details of an extramarital affair sent him from the family home.
He would swing into Crook’s Corner, a legendary Southern restaurant, for an order of fried oysters to go, talking to anyone around and looking like the polished but approachable Democratic presidential candidate he once was.
After his estranged wife, Elizabeth Edwards, died of cancer in early December, the chef at Crook’s Corner, Bill Smith, would slip in an extra dessert for their children.
“We all just feel for him, no matter what he’s done,” Mr. Smith said. “And you know there is more to come.”
That “more” is the possibility that a federal grand jury in Raleigh could soon hand up an indictment against him in a case centering on campaign finance practices.
