If onetime presidential wannabe John Edward thinks that the allegation that he fathered a love child with Reille Hunter is going to melt in the summer heat, he's in for a rude shock in the form of risking being disinvited to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.Most of the mainstream media has treated the story broken by the National Enquirer like an anthrax-filled envelope, but Democratic Party insiders are sending Edward a different message. As Gary Pearce puts it:
"If it's not true, he has to issue a stronger denial. . . . It's a very damaging thing. . . . If it's not true, he's got to stand up and say, 'This is not true. That is not my child and I'm going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.' It's not enough to say, 'That's tabloid trash.' "Pearce ran Edwards' 1998 Senate campaign and senses, as do I, that with the Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer and some other MSM outlets now actively pursuing the story, it's on the verge of going big time. Very big time.
