No father is listed on the birth certificate of a child who a tabloid newspaper claims is linked to former Sen. John Edwards.
The document doesn't help to clear up repeated allegations by the National Enquirer that the N.C. Democrat had a sexual relationship, and later a baby, with Rielle Hunter, who had been hired last year by Edwards' presidential campaign.
The certificate, obtained by The Charlotte Observer on Thursday, shows Frances Quinn Hunter was born Feb. 27, more than two months after an Edwards aide claimed to be the father. Andrew Young, a former Edwards campaign finance director, claimed paternity in a December statement from his lawyer, posted at the political blog mydd.com.
The girl was born at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif., to Rielle Jaya James Druck, also known as Rielle Hunter. Hunter, 44, was a videographer on Edwards' presidential campaign last year.
Really? I personally have know a lot of single mothers, and I can't recall a single one of them not putting the father's name on the birth certificate.
All that has to happen is for Andrew Young and/or John Edwards to submit to a paternity test. That'll clear everything up in a hurry.
But with John Edwards ducking questions, running from the press, and acting in a manner in which he looks like he has something to hide, it doesn't look good for him.
Oh how I can't wait until we all get a final answer on this nagging question.
