We're going to try something a little different here. On the day of the biggest contest for the GOP race this election season, Nightline is bringing you behind the scenes of our daily grind, from our morning meeting pitches to Terry Moran straightening his tie behind the anchor desk before air.

12:59 a.m. ET: Terry goes live for an ABC special report on Ohio's results.

12:49 a.m. ET: ABC News reporting that Mitt Romney is the apparent winner in the Ohio primary. Terry back at his desk, everyone back in the control room. Executive Producer Jeanmarie Condon and Special Events Executive Producer Marc Burstein in the second row, watching Alaska results stream in.

3:41 p.m. ET: Nightline D.C. producer Mary Marsh flagged a fascinating graphic from the official Twitter Government and Politics team. It shows how often the top four GOP candidates have tweeted from their official accounts from the Iowa Caucuses and leading up to Super Tuesday. Seems Newt has some catching up to do.

3:12 p.m. ET: Anchor Terry Moran hard at work on his script for tonight's lead piece:

1:20 p.m. ET: Anchor Terry Moran, senior producer Melinda Arons and producer Victoria Thompson walk into the office, fresh off the plane from Ohio, where they had been gathering color ahead of our Super Tuesday coverage.

11:21 a.m. ET: Executive producer Jeanmarie Condon lays out the plan for tonight's line-up: Terry Moran will lead off our Super Tuesday coverage with checking the pulse of the current GOP race situation - why Mitt Romney will be the likely nominee but no one is enthused about it.

Thrown in the mix with be a rapid-fire roundtable segment with ABC's George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer.

ABC's John Berman will do a piece around the new HBO Film:  'Game Change' - in the middle of this campaign it seems like they are still squabbling over the last one!
