Children #24 Super Tuesday & Circle Of Moms Award

So Begins the Race

Super Tuesday is a Tuesday early in a U.S. presidential election year on which primary elections or caucuses are held in numerous states. It was first established in 1988, when 16 mostly Southern states moved their primaries to March from later in the year in an attempt to give the region a larger influence in selecting presidential candidates. Today we continue discussions that were started over Presidents weekend with the kids, they will wake up to color a picture of the American flag.
