And our last word in business is super exciting. A day after the Super Bowl, we're poised for tomorrow's presidential primary blowout, Super Tuesday. An ABC News Washington Post poll asked people which is more exciting? The answer? The football game, but not by much. Forty percent of adults picked the Super Bowl, but 37 percent say Super Tuesday is more thrilling than the big game.
