Super Tuesday 101: Who’s ahead where

Ten states are holding presidential primaries or caucuses Tuesday – and many Republicans are hoping the results begin to bring an unusually volatile primary season to a close.

Here’s what to look for Tuesday night, state by state:

5. Oklahoma, 43 delegates

Rick Santorum supporters cheer in an effort to drown out anti-Santorum demonstrators during a rally in Oklahoma City, Sunday, March 4, 2012.

This is perhaps Santorum’s strongest state. Polls show him getting close to 40 percent of the vote, while Romney is in the mid-20s, with Gingrich close behind.

If Santorum were to get a majority, he’d get all 25 of the statewide delegates (plus most of those awarded by congressional district), but that seems unlikely.

Instead, it’s a state where Santorum can expect to win and get the majority of the delegates, but Gingrich and Romney should get delegates here as well.
