How about we ask Hillary and Edwards not to split the anti-Obama vote? I think you are making a huge assumption in that both Edwards and Obama supporters are anti-Clinton. I saw some stats awhile back (don't have the link) on second choices, and the second choice for both Edwards and Obama supporters was Clinton.

that asks for second choices has shown that to be true.
There's never been any empirical evidence that Edwards and Obama are splitting some mythical "anti-Hillary" vote, outside of the blog bubble. It's just as plausible that having two anti-Hillarys in the race helps each of them by increasing the odds that she'll have a dismal showing in a given primary (i.e., last night's 3rd place w/ under 30%).
If there really were a radical black Muslim country-club elitist in the race, I'd probably vote for him just for novelty's sake.

I am sticking with Edwards, mostly because I am pretty indifferent to the choice between Obama and Clinton.

and vice versa.
They are better candidates than Mrs Clinton.
They are both a clue as to what the party should be.

They are symbiotic, but Obama is likely to take off now.
