Remember, it is only the candidates for President that are being voted for on Super Tuesday. Not the Position of President, that happens early November. Also, it's not a certainity that we will know who those candidates are after Super Tuesday. Theres nothing stopping it being undecided until they reach the convention itself. Only when the delegates vote at their convention is it final, it's just that usually a clear winner has emerged long before then.

That is for the position of President. The Americans will decide between the Democratic nominee and the Republican Nominee, everyone (kinda) can vote in this election, it's the main one.
For example:
4 years ago Bush won the Republican nomination (sitting presidents usually have no serious rivals for the nomination) and John Kerry won the Democratic one after winning enough of the democratic primarys.
In the Summer the Republicans and the Democrates have their conventions and after that the election when into full swing before Bush won in November
