Should John Edwards stay in the presidential race?
Being a woman, I am sure that Elizabeth Edwards has encouraged her husband to continue his run for the presidency. By continuing to live her life as normally as possible it makes the reality of things a little easier to deal with. She is as much a force in John Edwards' career as he is and I think she wants to finish what they started. -Debi, Moro, Illinois

As a physician, I feel very sorry for Mrs. Edwards. If he really cared about her, he should stick to his prior statement and focus on his family and put his ambitions on the back burner.-Michael, Far Hills, New Jersey

John Edwards and his wife are among the few couples in Washington who seem down-to-earth and honest. I don't think John would stay in the race if his wife had an ounce of concern about him doing so. If anything, his not dropping out shows a commitment to continue living their lives as they were and not get overly concerned about the issue. -Chance, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Absolutely John Edwards should stay in the presidential race. His wife is passionate about his value to the nation, and were he to drop out, she would be miserable. This way, she is happy and can contribute to his campaign. She is a very brave and strong woman. -Marysue, Tollhouse, California

What's your reaction to a Michigan congressman saying parts of Iraq are no more dangerous than Detroit or Chicago?
Since Bagdad is as safe as Detroit, the American troops should come home immediately. If we don't need an army in Detroit, we don't need one in Baghdad.
-Patricia, Leigh, Florida

Well, let's be truthful here, I believe there are a few places in this country that qualify, as sad as it is! -Dave, Pocatello, Idaho

I'm curious, Jack. How many body bags do they use in Detroit and Chicago every night? How many innocent people are kidnapped and killed? How many bombs explode? How many soldiers are killed or wounded? This congressman needs to get his head out of his... out of the sand. -Al, Lawrence, Kansas

So since nearly all of Iraq is as safe as Chicago or Detroit, I'm sure he'd heartily agree with me and others who say that our military need not be there. But honestly, how can someone forget the tiny fact that Detroit and Chicago are not in the midst of religiously motivated civil wars? -Andrew, Sherman, Texas

Will we ever really know what happened to the fired U.S. attorneys?
Eventually, but the bigger question is why these White House officials refuse to swear on the same book [under oath] that they beat everyone over the head with. What's the matter, afraid lightning will strike? -Lynn, North Branch, Minnesota

Jack, Come on, we already know why they were fired. The question is: Will the Bush administration ever admit the truth in public? -Keith, Franklin, Tennessee

Good grief! Let this go. These men serve at the pleasure of the president and I have yet to see allegations of actual wrongdoing, EXCEPT that they haven't explained enough to Congress. What cases were they working on? Why doesn't anyone report that? That might catch my interest, if there's anything there. If not, let it go, for God's sake! Stop wasting my time!
-Kathy, Yukon, Oklahoma

Hi Jack, Does it really matter? We will never know the truth anyway. Business as usual in D.C. -Stephen, Laguna Niguel, California

We'll find out; the Bush people have no experience handling real pressure. -C.K., Rye, New Hampshire
