RALEIGH, N.C. -

Two-time presidential candidate John Edwards is continuing his return to the public stage by debating Republican strategist Karl Rove.

The Commercial Finance Association said the two will hold a point-counterpoint discussion Thursday in San Francisco. They will discuss the election and the economy.

It will be Edwards' second public event since he acknowledged in August that he had an affair back in 2006. His appearance in Indiana on Tuesday did not address the matter.

Thursday's meeting puts an odd and perhaps contentious pair on the same stage. During his presidential campaign, Edwards repeatedly called for President Bush to fire Rove. When Rove resigned from the White House in 2007, Edwards issued a simple statement, saying "Goodbye, good riddance."

    I can't imagine John Edwards getting ont he stage with Carl Rove. Rove will tear him up. I think the sam thing about Edwards as he said about Rove. After his "affair" I was hoping he was gone which would have been, good bye and good ridance. After this debate maybe he will disappear for good and SHUT UP.
