Elizabeth Edwards' recurrence of cancer was seen as detrimental to the Edwards campaign. He would no longer be able to spend the amount of time needed in Iowa and New Hampshire. But lately, all the press has been about one thing: Money. Who will pull in the most to solidify themselves as a leader in the primary before the deadline for the first quarter on Saturday? And more importantly, who would be basically thrown out of the race and no longer seen as a serious candidate? This was a serious risk for John Edwards who faces up against two celebrity candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
But the return of cancer for Elizabeth Edwards has prompted a surge in donations to the Edwards campaign, collecting over a half-million dollars in one week.
People speculate that Elizabeth's cancer has given John Edwards a chance to really connect with voters...an area in which Hillary Clinton still lacks skill, which was even conceded by her husband.
