Residents in 10 states are casting votes this Super Tuesday with more than 400 delegates up for grabs. Pundits don't think it will decide things once and for all, but it could secure Mitt Romney's frontrunner status in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

Leading up to Super Tuesday, more Republican leaders came out to endorse Mitt Romney. On Sunday, Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. threw his support behind Romney on NBC's 'Meet the Press.'

"What I have seen is a very hard-fought primary. And we have seen now that the central issue about the campaign now is the economy," Cantor said. "I just think there's one candidate in the case who can do that, and it's Mitt Romney."

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., also endorsed Romney Sunday.

Jeff Greenfield, host of 'Need to Know' on PBS, will join Kerri Miller on The Daily Circuit Tuesday to talk about the GOP race moving forward. Henry Gomez, political reporter for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, will also join the discussion.
