[0:00] so far on this Super Tuesday.
[0:02] >> And on the Republican side, [music] this
[0:04] night belongs to George W. Bush.

[0:22] From CNN election headquarters in
[0:25] Atlanta, this is CNN's [music]
[0:27] coverage of Super Tuesday. The largest
[0:30] day of primary and caucus [music] voting
[0:32] in the nation's history with 16 states
[0:35] and one territory going to the [music]
[0:36] polls and caucuses to select more than
[0:39] 1,900 Democratic and Republican
[0:41] convention [music] delegates. Now from
[0:44] the CNN anchor desk, here are Bernard
[0:46] Shaw, Judy Woodruff, and Jeff
[0:48] Greenfield.
[0:51] Welcome back to this in effect national
[0:53] primary. In a couple of minutes, we'll
[0:54] be talking with Texas Governor George
[0:56] Bush and his wife Laura. But we want to
[0:57] bring you up to date on the Republican
[0:59] primary in New York State. Probably the
[1:01] most closely watched. We cannot yet tell
[1:04] you whether Governor Bush or Senator
[1:06] McCain will collect more Republican
[1:09] delegates from New [music] York State.
[1:11] What CNN can estimate is that more New
[1:14] York Republican voters cast their votes
[1:16] for Bush delegates than for McCain
[1:19] delegates. The problem in New York is
[1:21] that in the Republican primary, voters
[1:24] cannot vote directly for Bush or McCain.
[1:27] They have to choose among delegates. And
[1:30] there are congressional districts, as in
[1:31] say New York's Harlem, where there are
[1:33] relatively few Republicans, maybe a few
[1:35] thousand will cast their votes for their
[1:37] three delegates. Out in Long Island,
[1:39] there may be a congressional district
[1:41] where tens of thousands cast. So trying
[1:43] to figure out the popular
