“I would have to think that a bumper sticker that said 'Obama/The Other Edwards' might have been a bit difficult,” Edwards said Sunday after visiting a Veterans Administration hospital upon arrival in Denver for the Democratic National Convention.
Chet Edwards (not related to the former North Carolina senator) said he was notified Aug. 10 that he was on Obama's short list “and there was a possible plan to have my name released to the public” in the days that followed.
That was the same time that details began to emerge about John Edwards' affair - which he later confirmed - with a former aide in his unsuccessful presidential campaign this past year.
“I'll let you juxtapose the date of the John Edwards expose with when they were about to release my name,” Chet Edwards said. “I gave you the Aug. 10 date when I was told I was on the final short list.”
