CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Super Tuesday's gone with the wind, and we're bringing you the latest results from the biggest day in the presidential primary season. I'm Carl Azuz, and this is CNN Student News.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

WOMAN ON STREET: It's a different year than usual. There are a lot of choices, and it seems that it would really make a difference.

WOMAN ON STREET: You can't look at race here, or gender for that matter. You've got to look at the political issues that they're backing, and what they're promising.

MAN ON BEACH: The biggest issue would probably be the economy and national security. They are kind of up there the same.

WOMAN ON STREET: I'm really concerned about the morals of this country, about the way this country is going.

WOMAN IN STORE: Health care, you know, for everyone that's not being able to afford it and everything.

MAN ON BEACH: Immigration is my biggest issue, because we have to do something about closing the borders down.

MAN ON STREET: I think it's delightful we have a woman running, we have an African-American running, we have a Mormon gentleman running and we've got a preacher running. This is astronomically interesting stuff happening. It's happening at a time in our lives where people wouldn't have believed it.

First Up: Super Tuesday

AZUZ: Well, they better believe it. Because each one of those candidates came out a winner somewhere on Super Tuesday. From Connecticut to California, voters turned out in force to take part in primaries and caucuses. Weather played a role in the big day, too. Deadly tornadoes tore through parts of Tennessee and Arkansas, and forced some polling places to close early. But for the most part, politics ruled the day. Sandra Endo fills us in on some of the results.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SANDRA ENDO, CNN REPORTER: Delegate-rich California delivers the big prize to Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

SEN. HILLARY CLINTON, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: When the bright lights are off and the cameras are gone, who can you count on to listen to you, to stand up for you.

ENDO: McCain easily won over second-place finisher Mitt Romney.

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Tonight I think we must get used to the idea that we are the Republican party frontrunner for the nomination of President of the United States.

ENDO: But Romney isn't throwing in the towel.

MITT ROMNEY, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: One thing that's clear is this campaign is going on.

ENDO: Barack Obama vowed to forge on too, after picking up some key states in the Midwest. And, unlike Romney, he'll still get delegates in California.

SEN. BARACK OBAMA, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Our time has come. Our movement is real and change is coming to America.

ENDO: And don't shortchange Mike Huckabee. He fared well in the Bible Belt, winning in the four Super Tuesday Southern states despite limited resources.

MIKE HUCKABEE, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It's not over until the final bell has sounded and it hasn't yet.

ENDO: More than 20 states were up for grabs this Super Tuesday and there's still plenty of political drama ahead. In New York City, I'm Sandra Endo, for CNN Student News.

AZUZ: For the latest results, head to ! We'll be updating the vote totals and delegate counts for both parties as they come in.

Shoutout

GREG BLACK, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Time for a Shoutout! Where were the first in-person votes cast on Super Tuesday? If you think you know it, shout it out! Was it in: A) London, England, B) Perth, Australia, C) Jakarta, Indonesia or D) Washington, D.C.? You've got three seconds -- GO! The first in-person votes were cast in Jakarta, Indonesia, just after midnight, Jakarta time, which was noon on Monday on the East Coast. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Far From Home

AZUZ: You heard right: Super Tuesday actually started on Monday. Normally, citizens who live abroad vote by mailing in absentee ballots. But thanks to groups set up on six different continents -- sorry, Antarctica -- many overseas Americans get to participate in person. Robin Oakley tells us how it went.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROBIN OAKLEY, CNN REPORTER: It wasn't just those in 24 states and American Samoa voting on Super Tuesday. Many of the 6 million Americans living abroad have their chance too, providing they were Democrats. Republicans had to make do with absentee postal ballots. Jakarta, Indonesia, was the site of the first voting in the global primary being staged by Democrats Abroad. Democrats in Paris were among those playing their part in a process which will send 22 delegates to the Democratic Convention. The states of Delaware and Idaho get just 18 delegates each, but the Democrats Abroad contingent will only get half a vote each. In London, they had all the trimmings: The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and a strong rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Credentials were carefully checked by volunteer workers.

OAKLEY: The record turnout at London's Porchester Hall was at least twice what it was four years ago. Supporters of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton vied to make the most noise and to buy the most candidate cookies. That very informal poll had the two neck and neck, or sweet tooth to sweet tooth. Hillary Clinton supporters down that end of the room; Barack Obama supporters encamped on the side wall. All of them acutely aware of the value of their votes. As they'd been reminded, 600 more votes for Al Gore in 2000 would have made him president instead of George Bush. And as they use their votes here tonight, they are determined to work for a change. There was a cheerful rivalry throughout the evening as votes were cast. But the results, preliminary until confirmed Wednesday, were clear:

BILL BARNARD, CHAIRMAN, DEMOCRATS ABROAD UK: The number of Clinton ballots uncontested: 422. 11 which we have to investigate, for a total of 433. The Obama ballots uncontested: 971. Those which have to be investigated: 27. For a total of 998.

OAKLEY: A clear enough result. Robin Oakley, CNN, London.

Shoutout Extra Credit

BLACK: Time for a Shoutout Extra Credit! Which amendment to the Constitution made 18 the national voting age? If you think you know it, shout it out! Was it: A) 14th Amendment, B) 19th Amendment, C) 25th Amendment or D) 26th Amendment? You've got three seconds -- GO! The 26th Amendment says U.S. citizens age 18 and older will not be denied the right to vote. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout Extra Credit!

The Youth Vote

AZUZ: But how many young voters actually exercise that right? Since the 26th Amendment was passed, 18-20 year olds have earned a reputation for not turning out in big numbers. But as Ted Rowlands tells us, this year, they seem to be a lot more involved in the process.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TED ROWLANDS, CNN REPORTER: They show up in force for rallys and speeches, young faces full of enthusiasm. Political strategists call them "millennial voters," an almost 50 million member group of Americans ages 18-29. While young people represent a huge block of potential votes, they have a bad reputation for not showing up on election day. Many, however, including this group of UCLA students watching CNN's Democratic debate last week, say this election will be different.

JESSE MELGAR, FIRST TIME VOTER: A lot of the youth are getting excited about this. The candidates are actually speaking to us at this election. It's a very exciting time.

ROWLANDS: Lauren Lees is a millennial voter from California who's never bothered to vote before, but she agrees that 2008 is different.

LAUREN LEES, FIRST TIME VOTER: It's definitely the candidates, and definitely just what's going on. We have the war in Iraq and education and all these different things.

BILL SCHNIEDER, CNN SR. POLITICAL ANALYST: Young voters are voting in unprecedented numbers. We've never seen numbers like this ever, even when they first got the vote. 18 to 20 years olds in 1972, they were supposed to make a decisive difference, and they didn't. They didn't show up. Something about this election has turned them on.

SINGERS: Give peace a chance.

ROWLANDS: Young voters also have a reputation for putting idealistic issues like world peace and the environment ahead of economic concerns. But that seems to be different this year as well. According to the Pew Research Center, 80 percent of 18-29 year olds surveyed rated the economy as very important. Just 61 percent gave the environment the same rating.

PERSON ON THE STREET: I did a rally for you at UCI.

ROWLANDS: First-time voter Lynette Choi is an 18-year-old college freshman who's supporting Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

LYNETTE CHOI, FIRST TIME VOTER: I like his economic policy about the fair tax.

ROWLANDS: The economy seems to be an issue among young people that resonates across party lines. UCLA student Jose Neus likes Barack Obama.

JOSE NEUS, UCLA SENIOR: Trying to get a job, something that will pay well to be able to pay off the college loans.

ROWLANDS: Whether it's the economy, other issues or the candidates themselves, turnout among young voters has been up so far this year. Ted Rowlands, CNN, Los Angeles.
