WASHINGTON — Democrat Barack Obama heads into Super Tuesday's voting with apparent momentum in several big states where Hillary Clinton's been the longtime leader, raising hopes in his camp for upsets that could give him the edge in delegates and enthusiasm coming out of the primaries' biggest voting day.

Republican John McCain, meanwhile, maintains solid leads in the Northeast, but faces scattered threats from Mitt Romney in the South, Midwest and particularly in California.

Possible late swings by blocs of voters raised the uncertainty level nationwide as nearly 80 million Americans will be eligible to vote Tuesday for the Democratic or Republican presidential nominations in 24 states.

For Democrats, the key question was whether Clinton and Obama would split the delegates up for grabs or whether one of them would gain a decided advantage. All Democratic primaries and caucuses will award delegates on a proportional basis.
