Today is Super Tuesday in the United States. It gets the name because it is that date more states go to the poll than any other date to select the Republican nominee. The below map shows which states are electing tomorrow.
This race remains close between Santorum and Romney and it is likely that tomorrow's result will be indecisive. Many right-wing pundits have compared this to the Obama vs Clinton race of 2008, showing that despite the tight race the Democrats still won the election. This is a totally unfair comparison, in 2008 Democrats were choosing which of two candidates they liked the most, but would be happy if either got the nomination. For Republicans in 2012 the picture is very different, people are choosing between four candidates and deciding, which one do they dislike the least.
