Gop, Super Tuesday | featured news

The campaigns of President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney don't agree on much.

Edward Morrissey says none of the candidates hit their targets for moving ahead on Super Tuesday, but hung on just enough to keep the crown out of Romney's reach

The big day has arrived. Ten states hold their voting contests today in the mega-primary day known as "super Tuesday." Four-hundred and thirty-seven delegates are at stake tonight. The candidate who carries the bulk of states will gain a solid lead in delegates, not to mention some serious momentum to carry them through the rest of the month.

With hours remaining until the polls open in this crucial state, Rick Santorum said Monday no one expected him to last this long into the Republican presidential contest, but that a combination of hard work and a consistent conservative message has allowed him to compete despite being massively outspent by rival Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney picks up another conservative endorsement and a new poll shows him pulling ahead in Ohio, as the biggest day of the GOP presidential campaign nears.

As Super Tuesday looms, the contest in the Buckeye State appears extremely competitive.

Super PACs have poured nearly $4 million into advertising in Ohio ahead of Super Tuesday, accounting for most of the spending in what has become an overwhelmingly negative contest.

There are more voters involved and more delegates at stake on Super Tuesday than on any other election day so far this year, but there is a growing recognition that the crucial voting day is unlikely to slow the grinding GOP campaign.

Forty delegates are up for grabs when Washington state holds its Republican presidential caucuses on Saturday, but much more than that -- a quick shot of momentum going into Super Tuesday is also at stake.
