Edwards in 2016???
If Edwrds survives his current travails, is it even remotely possible he could run as a PROGRESSIVE anti-establishment independent? Edwards has worked. Closely with the unions even back when he was a lawyer. The unions have expressed feelings of being ignored/thrown under the bus, WHATT IF they threw their support behind another establishment outcast like Edwards? Along with support perhaps from the Occupy movement and like organizations? Woooooooooo! Wooooooo!
