[0:00] Draw week nights at 6:30.

[0:30] CBS News coverage of Campaign 88

[0:33] continues tonight. Super Tuesday.

[0:36] Reporting from CBS News election

[0:38] headquarters in New York. Here is Dan

[0:40] Rather.

[0:42] >> Good evening. It's George Bush's night

[0:44] to shine in the Lone Star State and in a

[0:47] lot of other Super Tuesday states, too.

[0:49] So far, so far it has been a Bush

[0:51] blowout. Among Democrats, Michael Dakus,

[0:54] Jesse Jackson, and Al Gore all score.

[0:56] Richard Gart lowman so far among the top

[0:59] four. Those are the headlines as we

[1:02] begin our two hours of Super Tuesday

[1:04] coverage. For the politicians, a mega

[1:31] Robert Doe? Is the question going to be

[1:34] after this? Can anybody stop Bush? Will

[1:36] Pat Robertson revive or get belted in

[1:38] the Bible belt among Democrats? Does

[1:41] anyone emerge from the muddle to be

[1:43] front runner? Does Jesse Jackson come

[1:45] out of Super Tuesday transform from a

[1:47] back of the pack protest candidate to

[1:49] power player and definite contender?

[1:52] Joining us tonight to try to find the

[1:53] answers and to make sense of it all, if

[1:55] that's at all possible, some of our

[1:56] veteran CBS News colleagues, our chief

[1:58] Washington correspondent Bob
