What must candidates who hope to win their partys nomination do?
do well in the primaries
Why is it that democratic presidential candidates require more electoral votes than their republican counterparts to become party's nomination?
You mean delegate votes, not electoral votes. The quick answer is that the Democrats have more total delegates appointed to attend their conventions than the Republicans do. In either case, the candidate must have 50 percent plus 1 vote to be nominated.
What is Super Tuseday?
In the United States, Super Tuesday, in general, refers to the Tuesday in February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party's presidential candidates are officially nominated. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar, and, accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to secure their party's nomination. In 2008, Super Tuesday was February 5; 24 states held primaries or caucuses on this date, with 52% of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 41% of the total Republican Party delegates at stake.[1] The 2012 Super Tuesday will be March 6, 2012.[2]Since Super Tuesday primaries are held in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse regions of the country, Super Tuesday typically represents a presidential candidate's first test of national electability. Convincing wins in Super Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party's nomination. The particular states holding primaries on Super Tuesday have varied from year to year.

How is ruling party and opposition party formed?
Parties are formed form groups of people with the same political goals coming together to try and achieve these common goals. In a democratic country there must be at least two parties but there may be many more. At an election, the parties put up their candidates for election and the people vote for the candidate they want to represent their views. Usually the party with the most elected candidates will form the party of government (the ruling party) and the rest form the opposition. However, in countries with more than one party, it may be that no one party wins a majority of seats and in this case, a group of parties come together to form a coalition government with the rest forming the opposition.
