The question on my mind is what will the margin be.  In the unlikely event that it is over 15% with unprecedented turnout, I think it&#8217;s time for Hillary to call it quits.  If it&#8217;s 10% or over, Obama is in a very, very strong position.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the results here though, expect the Clinton to come out vicious.  As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abcnews.go.com\/video\/playerIndex?id=4102345\">Bill was today<\/a>. And as Hillary <a href=\"http:\/\/thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com\/2008\/01\/07\/civilrights\/\">was yesterday<\/a>.
