It's Written In The Stars (You're Surrounded)

"Barack Obama is being ordered to distance himself from John Edwards amid allegations his one-time rival has fathered a love child.

Mr Edwards had been touted as a possible vice president, but yesterday leading Democrats told the former North Carolina senator to come clean about the rumours of his affair with a campaign aide or stay away from the party convention.

Party organisers are furious that Mr Edwards has refused to deny that he’s the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby daughter Frances and fear he is taking attention away from Mr Obama.

Mr Edwards, 55, dropped his own bid for the presidency in January after coming a distant third behind Mr Obama and Hillary Clinton, but he had been expected to make a rousing speech at the Denver convention later this month.

Rumours that Mr Edwards, whose wife Elizabeth is battling breast cancer, fathered the child were ignored by the mainstream media until yesterday when the National Enquirer printed a grainy photograph allegedly showing Mr Edwards cradling the baby in a Los Angeles hotel room last month.

Mr Edwards dismissed earlier Enquirer stories about his affair with Miss Hunter, a 44-year-old campaign videographer, as 'tabloid trash.'

The magazine released the 'spy-cam' photo supposedly showing Mr Edwards inside the hotel room on July 21 as proof. When reporters confronted him in the lobby he fled into the men’s toilets and refused to come out until he was rescued by security guards.

Last night it was not clear how the Enquirer had obtained a photo that appeared to have been taken inside the room when the curtains were closed. But Mr Edwards’ supporters are sure to paint him as a victim of dirty tricks."

I've said it once and, now, I'll say it again:

Bob MGovern, Rielle Hunter's "intuitive" astrologer, drove her to the hotel and booked the rooms (and he's listed on her website as her confidante) so he's the one who took the photos.
