Fourteen states. 1,357 delegates up for grabs.

Super Tuesday has been a fixture in United States politics since 1984. After tonight we could have a better picture of where things stand as far as the presidential race goes. Even though the states and territories that vote on Super Tuesday changes year to year, it’s a primary day that’s always considered a big deal. That’s because it is the single day where the most states hold elections to pick a presidential nominee.

MUSINGS & THOUGHTS FROM MYRA & STEVE

Each week, KSAT anchors Myra Arthur and Steve Spriester will sound off on the election news/other random thoughts that are on their minds.

They don’t call if Super for nothing.

Today is the day November takes shape. For months, it’s been a list of candidates so long it’s been tough to keep track. But after today, especially here in Texas and Bexar County, we have a better idea of who will go head to head in the months left to campaign.

Today, as the hours at the polls wind down and the excitement for the results builds up (and the pizzas start rolling into the newsroom for election night coverage), I’ll be closely watching the primary results for the presidential race, Texas’ District 23, Bexar County Sheriff and voter turnout in Bexar County. But we have even more than that to cover. Let’s get started. See you tonight.

A political version of the old Wayne’s World segments from television and movies. It’s kind of what I dubbed it. What it’s become has been beyond my expectations.
