Although the presidential elections are still months away, UT students headed to the polls in large numbers Tuesday to cast their vote for their choice for president of the United States. Tuesday marked the day when the most U.S. states held their presidential primaries simultaneously.

Known as Super Tuesday by most, but this year has become known as "Super Duper Tuesday," "Giga Tuesday" and the possibly offensive "Tsunami Tuesday," Feb. 5 will reveal much about the countries current feelings toward the presidential cadidates.

With many cadidates having dropped out of the race in recent weeks, the front-runners are seeing less and less competition, making the competition among the few remaining even stronger. Sen Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton fight back and forth on the Democratic side while Sen. John McCain and Gov. Mitt Romney vie for the Republican vote. 

But there are several other cadidates that shouldn't be overlooked as well. Congressman Ron Paul, Sen. Mike Gravel and Gov. Mike Huckabee are each hanging on, still gaining a noticeable percentage of the country's votes. 

The elections may be almost 10 months away, but the country is weighing in now on their choice for president.
