just my speculation. I think Wilburn and Niederbacher may drop out.
The other 5 seem to have solid bases, so the problem of the divided vote still exists.

I am hoping there may be some winnowing by June, but beyond Wilburn and Niederbacher I don't know who it would be.
And in a convention the same splits may exist.

Boulton and Glasson are both big on labor, but different types. It would make some sense for them to combine forces.
It is going to be a long year.
