Tomorrow's primary will be close. No landslide win for anyone.
What should be obvious by now is that the expectations game doesn't work well in such a contested primary.

Obama won by 8% in Iowa, Clinton by 2% in NH and by 6% in NV. To expect a double digits win for anyone tomorrow is simply wishful thinking.

I stand by my prediction of Obama by 7%, but it could be a lot closer or even a loss- however, the victory margin won't be higher than that.
