It's Super Tuesday (note the capitals) today. A bit like Good Friday without the religion.
It's where a hatful of states vote for their favourite representative, thereby setting the scene for the likely contest this November.
We don't have an equivalent in the UK, and in fact I can't recall any similar type of events any where in the world, so super it definitely is. Most commentators are expecting Mr Trump to trump everyone else and emerge as the top man for the Republicans, whilst Hilary is expected to reinforce her grip at the top of the Democrat tree. Real life may well be different, but at least the newspapers can fill quite a few column inches with speculation and 'what if..' scenarios.
Talking of what if, what if the UK votes to leave the EU? Evidently the civil service will be called in to negotiate a huge number of agreements relating to our relationship with Europe, and the Guardian wonders if they will be able to cope. Consultancy companies will be instructing their employees to vote to leave.
