Obama, Clinton, Edwards supporters: maybe we should all be nicer - despite all the sniping now
two these three may very well be on the Ticket in November.

There are 4,049 delegates (carving out Florida/Michigan) - a candidate needs 2,025 to win the nomination. There are currently about 550 uncommitted superdelegates. Even without an exhaustive state-by-state calculation of probabilities, it is more likely than in past years that this will be a close race and at least two of the candidates will probably have the financial resources to stay in the race to the Convention. It is not hard to imagine like the following: Clinton getting 1700 delegates, Obama getting 1500 and Edwards getting 700 and the remaining delegates uncommitted. This is only an example and I don't know how it will all turn out so don't rattle me about your candidate's placement.

Then you could see party leaders encouraging the top two candidates to form a ticket.

5. That's not the point
The point is there's fighting now but I think 2 out of 3 could be on the ticket together.

7. I'm not trying to convince you to vote for anyone else
I'm undecided between Edwards and Obama.
