Oops. What, No Brokered Convention? Aww

The Obama campaign accidentally sent a strategy memo to a reporter and, guess what, it got reported.
It says the campaigns will still be deadlocked after the last primary June 7 in...wait for it...wait for it...Puerto Rico.
It also hypothesizes that he and Hillary will closely split the superdelegates, meaning it could come down to a fight over Michigan and Florida delegates which, under party rules, don't get seated because the two states violated party rules by moving up their primaries.
MEANWHILE Mr. Smirky Mark Halperin over at TIME quotes Howard Dean (remember him, he's head of the Democratic National Committee now) saying the party can't afford the turmoil of a convention fight and if neither candidate has enough of a majority of delegates before that, they're going to have to come to some arrangement.
Wonder if he means like this:


Ooh, did I really post that? Guilty, yer honor.
