Resources for keeping up with Super Tuesday

Tomorrow is "Super Tuesday," a key day in the presidential primary process as voters in 24 states will go to the polls or to caucus. For a helpful map showing which states will be participating, see CNN.com's coverage here. Erskine's McCain Library also has some helpful links to major media coverage of Super Tuesday as well as to the websites of the remaining Democratic and Republican candidates. RealClearPolitics.com also has many links to editorials and news articles, as well as to polling data from the Super Tuesday states.

Heading into the delegate-heavy Super Tuesday contests, the delegate standings in both parties are as follows:

Democrats (2,025 needed to win):
1. Sen. Hillary Clinton, 232
2. Sen. Barack Obama, 158
3. John Edwards (out of the race), 26

Republicans (1,191 needed to win):
1. Sen. John McCain, 97
2. Mitt Romney, 92
3. Mike Huckabee, 29
4. Rep. Ron Paul, 6
