  Elizabeth Edwards: 'I Would Have Married Somebody Else'!

  Overlooked? From The Charlie Rose Show Tuesday (at 8:00 mark)--

  CHARLIE ROSE: How would you have lived your life differently based on what you know now?

  ELIZABETH EDWARDS: Boy, I mean, there`s so many -- I certainly would have gotten mammograms more often. That was an easy one.

  CHARLIE ROSE: Yes, of course, right.

  ELIZABETH EDWARDS: You know, I would not have voluntarily put myself in a position where I thought I would lose a child...

  CHARLIE ROSE: Of course not.

  ELIZABETH EDWARDS: ... and that I would feel so betrayed. I wouldn`t have done that voluntarily. I would...

  CHARLIE ROSE: What does that mean? I don`t know what that means.

  ELIZABETH EDWARDS: That means I would have made different choices. You know, I might have married somebody else and done something else ... [E.A.]

  Is this (a) a huge dis or (b) something most wives tell themselves every other day? ... Evidence for (a) is that Mrs. Edwards immediately veers into talking about her husband's "gift to stir" and leave people "moved and inspired." Make up call! ... 1:53 P.M.
