Cancer has taken the apron off of Elizabeth Edwards. There's no hiding her role in her husband's campaign.
Hillary never attempted the domestic brilliance of Eleanor McGovern, who had five children and sewed enviable clothes, but Hillary is now running for US President in her own name. Way back in the 1970's many were sure that Eleanor would have been the successful candidate, her husband George wasn't. It was her presence in the campaign which made Nixon send out Pat, who is still remembered more smiling, as the obedient and adoring wife.
How does Israel compare? Well for one, we had a female Prime Minister, Golda Meir, who was divorced, and two, Olmert's wife is credited with moving him from right to left.
Golda Meir hid her cancer, until she had no real choice, but Elizabeth Edwards' honesty about her illness shows herself to be the strongest of all.
