Super Tuesday: Primaries in 10 US States

Voters in 10 States will on Tuesday help decide the Republican nominee for president of the United States. Super Tuesday may help narrow down the current field of four candidates. Primaries in Ohio, Georgia, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Oklahoma and Tennessee plus caucuses in Idaho, North Dakota and Alaska make Tuesday the busiest day of the primary season.

Front-runner Mitt Romney’s main challenger is former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who surged in the polls in the last few weeks. Congressman Ron Paul has yet to win a contest, and former House speaker Newt Gringrich has not one a contest in over a month.

After Super Tuesday, the contest moves to Kansas, which holds its primary on Saturday.
