MARITAL STRAIN?: Is there tension in the Edwards household these days? Presidential candidate John Edwards recently had to read in a newspaper his wife's position on same-sex marriage.

"It's not the only thing we disagree about," the Democratic presidential candidate quipped Monday on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"A lot of people I love and care about feel the same way Elizabeth does," Edwards said. "I'm very strong about ending discrimination against gay and lesbian couples."
