Presidential candidate and former U.S. Senator John Edwards is facing the election of his life, or at least of the weekend.

Edwards has the dubious distinction of being nominated for The Fix's "Worst Political Sex Scandal" weekend poll. Edwards and his former mistress Rielle Hunter are are listed as one of four scandalous couples.

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza has nominated Edwards, although is fellow nominees may have the inside track since their ballot entries are written with a little more zing (e.g. John Ensign, his best friend's wife and $96,000 from his parents).

Polls are still open, so Dome deems it unfair to the integrity of the election to give a running tally of votes. Let's just say, there's still a chance Edwards can win this race.

I think all the nominees are special in their own way and it's difficult to pick a winner. But you have got to stick with your own hometown hero.

Edwards broke the number one rule in marital code.

Ensign did as well, but also violated the number one rule in "bro code", you just don't do both and get away with it.

gosh, a tough choice, but I'd have to go with Edwards, as he is the only one who has denied his own child and paid off someone to claim false paternity. bad bad bad.
