Bloomberg News has the scoop: Obama strategists believe that the two Democratic candidates will enter the August convention in a draw. What might make the difference? The unpledged "super" delegates and whether or not the DNC awards delegates from the Michigan and Florida contests at the Clintons' behest. I've said it before and I'll say it again: What - a - race.

(Incidentally, under the scenario outlined above, Obama strategists see Clinton winning Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania. For what it's worth, I think they're right. But due to Democratic delegate allocation rules, if Obama does well enough in those states - and there's no reason to think he won't - he'll still win a lot of delegates.)
