Elizabeth Edwards: I Still Admire John

In her first TV interview since the split from her husband -- and former presidential candidate -- John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards talks about her cancer battle and admiration for her estranged spouse.

Elizabeth, who is being treated for breast cancer, granted an interview to Matt Lauer on the "Today" show that airs Wednesday. Despite her husband's indiscretions, she wants their children to maintain a positive image of their father -- especially in her condition.

"I have three living children for whom this is a father whom I want them to love, on whom they're going to have to rely, perhaps if my disease takes a bad turn. It's really important to me that they see him in a positive light," Elizabeth says on "Today."
