In an interview with Salon.com, Mrs. Edwards, husband of former Senator John Edwards, criticized Hillary Rodham Clinton for not being as vocal an advocate for woment's issues as she wished she were.
"And sometimes you feel you have to behave as a man and not talk about women's issues," Mrs. Edwards said. But she added that Mrs. Clinton was "just not as vocal a women's advocate as I want to see," while her husband is.
In previous discussions, Mrs. Clinton had discussed some cost-saving measures on health care, but Mrs. Edwards also criticized that Mrs. Clinton is "not really talking about poverty," which often affects single mothers.
The Clinton campaign had no comment.

I don't understand Mrs. Edwards comment about the women's right issue. Hillary has been devoted for children's and women's causes for most of her adult life. I feel that Mrs. Edwards is just desperate and worried that her husband may not win. Sometimes, people are willing to do anything to win.

Just like Mr. Austin said. This is an article about people telling bad comments about oppenent candidates. Mrs. Edwards critisms don't really make much sense. There is no requirement for Mrs. Clinton to only focus on women's issues just because she's a women. That's not the only important issues out there.
Mrs. Edwards needs to get over herself keep her mouth shut. Just because she is a women, doe not mean that she has to be advocating for womens rights 24/7. They are important, but there are other issues as well.
I agree with you and everyone else who commented so far. Mrs. Edwards seems like she has nothing else better to do but to bag on Hillary Clinton. Hillary has been a strong supporter for children and women causes. Mrs. Edwards just needs to be mature and stop the bashing.
I agree that she needs to shut up and stop bad mouthing the other candidates. I don't see her doing anything. But on the other hand there are big issues with poverty and single mothers.
This is an official important presidential race not a womens rights rally; womens rights are important, but now is not the best time to voice that
The Clinton campaign probably had no comment because they felt that her words weren't important.
Seriously, I totally agree. Mrs. Edwards is just probably saying all that just cause she's worried about her husband.
