John Kerry and John Edwards found dead!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans, both Republican and Democrat alike were shocked on Saturday to learn that recent Presidential candidate John Kerry, and Vice-Presidential Candidate John Edwards had committed suicde.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, House of Representatives minority leader, said when the Senator had been missing for four hours, she began to worry and tried to contact former Senator John Edwards, to see if he knew of Kerry's where abouts.
"No one had answered the phone, so I decided to go to Senator Edwards' hotel in Washington D.C." she declared in the party's weekly radio address.
What she found upon entering the Edwards' home was a frightening scene no one could have predicted. Both John Kerry and John Edwards, dead, in Kerry's Astro Martin, in the garage.

I decided it would be in the best interest if for the rest of the election I continued to support my husband, and help with his campaign. I do not know the exact circumstances, which lead my husband to such a drastic measure, but I am confident that the entire truth of this matter will come to light, and that my husband, my..."
