I know it's wishful thinking but after the nominee is chosen...
I would love to see some occassion for all of the candidates to share the stage together at one time.

I know this won't happen, and I understand why it would be unfair to the nominee. But if it did happen, I think the unifying value and the would healing value would be immeasurable. Imagine if once the candidate is chose, to see Dean, Dennis, Edwards, Wes, Sharpton, Mosley Braun, and Kerry all up on stage together in a show of unity. Be it at the convention or just at a photo op or campaign stop or wherever.

Despite all the acrimony, each one of them led this primary season in a different, very necessary direction and helped to spread the notion of the dem party as the epitome of big tent. I especially feel this way as someone who hasn't supported a particular candidate and whose primary is way beyond when this race will be over (ie. the very last day).b I liked them all and will/would proudly vote for any of them despite differences I may have with each one of them. So to see them all together in a setting other than a contentious debate would be great.

Hey, I know this is totally not going to happen but if everyone else can have their unrealistic hopes posts I can too.
