Elizabeth Edwards's Weight: WHY DO YOU CARE?!

EDITED ON 8/3

Sadly, I called this one a few days ago when I first saw Elizabeth Edwards--full length--at the Democratic National Conventions. Many people it seems, cannot think of anything intelligent to discuss about the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, so they make ugly jokes and do search inquiries into her weight.
Someone in the search query above wants to know her height--perhaps a kinder-hearted soul who suspects Elizabeth is very short and doesn't carry her weight well.

Elizabeth Edwards is fat.

So WHAT???

Most likely she is smarter and richer than you. She's been highly successful and respected lawyering out of the State's Attorney's Office, doing tons of charity work, and running the foundations established in her deceased child's memory. She suffered through the accidental death of her 16 year- old- son Wade, and though Wade's younger (by about 2 yrs., I guess) sister survives, Elizabeth later went on to give birth to a child in her late forties, and again at age fifty, "in order to bring joy back" into the Edwards's family life. She also appears to be a very supportive spouse in a loving marriage (as one of my blogger friends pointed out in his comment following this post).
If she, after the insanity of campaigning, settles in and loses weight, will you like her then?
'Cos she'll still be smarter, richer, and probably nicer than you.

Oh, belated response to your query, above, my top ten Dem speakers, in order from best:

Barack Obama
1.carter
Theresa
2. Clinton
3.Elizabeth Edwards
4. Daughters Vanessa & Alexandra
Sharpton
5. Wesley Clark
7. John Edwards
8.Dean
9. Al Gore
10. Ron Reagan

Each of these was just awesome.

And Ted Kennedy sucked. Embarrassing.
And my governor, Granholm was very disappointing.

*more important than the very real possibility that she's smarter or richer than the folks who criticize her...listen to how she talks about John. To be with someone for decades...and still be madly in love with them...not many folks can say that.*

Thank you, chavos. I like her, and I was touched by her love too. My post had a deliberate snarky tone, as most of the people that use the "fat" search terms are most likely not going to understand the subtleties of how really cool it is to have that strong of a marriage.
