Millions of U.S. voters are heading to the polls Tuesday for primaries in 24 states in a day that could make or break Democratic and Republican candidates for the presidency.
Polls suggest Obama is in a dead heat nationwide with New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, with neither Democratic candidate expected to emerge with a decisive victory when the votes are tallied.
Democrats face a historic choice: the possibility of opting for an African-American or a woman as their party's presidential candidate.
In the Republican contest, longtime Arizona Senator John McCain is aiming to deliver a knockout blow in the bitter battle with his closest rival, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Polls suggest McCain could secure a majority of delegates on Tuesday, or at least enough to force Romney to drop out.
