Super Tuesday cheat sheet

A political tip sheet for Super Tuesday:

By winning GOP presidential caucuses Saturday in Washington state, Mitt Romney added substantially to his lead in the contest to win delegates to the Republican Party convention in late August in Tampa, Fla. Yes, winning primaries and caucuses is important, but racking up convention delegates is even more important. After all, it's the delegates who vote for the nominee. A minimum of 1,144 delegates are needed to win the nomination.

The latest delegate totals heading into Super Tuesday:

— Romney: 203

— Santorum: 92

— Gingrich: 33

— Paul: 25

— "Other people in this race have debated about the economy, they've read about the economy, they've talked about it in subcommittee hearings. But I've actually been in it. I've worked in business, and I understand what it takes to get a business successful and to thrive." — Romney.

— "Money is not going to buy this election. The best ideas and believing in the American people is going to win this election." — Santorum.

— "Whether someone is a Catholic or a Jew or an evangelical Christian, everyone should vote for liberty." — Paul.
