Super Tuesday for Kids
(for young and old adults too!)

Super Tuesday commonly refers to the Tuesday when the greatest number of states hold primary elections or caucuses to select delegates.  These delegates vote on the presidential candidates for their party at their national conventions. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the election calendar.

In 2008 Super Tuesday is February 5th; Twenty-four (24) states will hold primaries or caucuses on this date. With fifty-two (52) percent of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and Forty-one (41) percent of the total Republican Party delegates at stake, Super Tuesday can also be referred to as the day that determines the party's slate of candidates (but not always- for information about why delegates matter click here.)
