Super Tuesday Showdown

Super Tuesday is here, at last. Twenty-four states are holding primaries or caucuses on the single biggest day of presidential primary voting in the country’s history.

By tonight — or maybe in the wee hours of tomorrow morning — we will know a lot more about the contest ahead for the White House.

The drama of Campaign ‘08 has been high because the stakes are so high and the race so vivid.

For months, pollsters and pundits have had their say. Today, we’re turning the microphone over to you.

This hour On Point: The floor is yours.

-Tom Ashbrook

Guests:

Anne Kornblut, national poltiical correspondent for the Washington Post.

Aaron Gould Sheinen, Staff Writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Jack Beatty, On Point news analyst.
