    Of course. If he and his wife have made the commitment to continue I think they should both continue. By now I am sure he knows the survival rate is less than 25% for 5 years with what she has now, if it has not spread to the lungs, and they have not announced those test results yet.

    If she can stay healthy and strong enough to go through the entire campaign, I think he has a chance, but I am not sure how people would think about having a president without a first lady, as she will certainly not live long enough to be with him in the White House - for long if he did indeed win. Of course if she gets quite ill during the campaign, he will probably have to drop out, since he said SHE is his #1 priority.

    But I am all for their courage and dedication to each other! Wish I had someone like that in my life!!!!!

    • The whole thing is incredibly touching and sad. Makes me revisit the question, "why do bad things happen to good people?" Just thinking about their chidren makes me want to cry. Especially since they lost one child. I also wonder if his public personna will be affected by those who feel he should have dropped out to devote himself full time to Elizabeth. I also wonder how the effects of campaigning might hasten her illness, whether they should be spending whatever time she has left on earth together with the family at home. And yes, of course you did the question justice! You rarely disappoint, my dear.:)
