Super-Tuesday, Super-Duper Tuesday, Tsunami Tuesday. Whatever you call it, today is the big day. Record turnouts are expected here in Missouri and in the 21 other states that are voting today. Most likely, the Democratic and Republican nominees will be chosen by the end of the night, effectively ending the presidential nomination process a full seven months before the party conventions and nine months before the general election.
