Why is John Edwards still lying?

Everyone’s favorite son of a millworker John Edwards claimed in his prepared written statement that he had broken it off with his mistress Rielle Hunter in 2006. He wrote:
With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then.
On ABC News Nightline, John Edwards claimed that in 2006 he told his wife Elizabeth about “The Mistake” and asked her forgiveness.
Technology blogger Robert Scoble took this photo of Rielle Hunter on December 30, 2006 in in New Orleans at an Edwards event and was working with the Edwards team.
If he ended his relationship with Rielle Hunter in 2006, why is she there in New Orleans with him?
Why is he insisting that the affair ended in 2006? I’m guessing because Rielle Hunter’s baby was born on February 27, 2008. It seems Edwards wants to make it look mathematically impossible that he is the baby’s father.
