A big group of dickheads getting together to nominate the biggest dickhead. Only misguided dicks vote. Don't go unless you're prepared to be party of a bunch of dickheads.

A bunch of people get together and the strong personalities bully the week personalities into supporting their chosen candidate, then they vote?
Correct me if I am wrong. |

It's a made-up American word, meaning a group of people sharing similar concerns.
Perloined by the American political class to confuse the peasants, and twisted to mean a meeting of people with similar political concerns. Anyone using the word is a political junkie and should be shunned. |

“What I was going to say,” said the Dodo in an offended tone, “was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.”
“What is a Caucus-race?” said Alice; not that she much wanted to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything. “Why,” said the Dodo, “the best way to explain it is to do it.” (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.) First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle ("the exact shape doesn’t matter,” it said), and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no “One, two, three, and away!” but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out “The race is over!” and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, “But who has won?” This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it stood for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, “Everybody has won, and all must have prizes.” “But who is to give the prizes?” quite a chorus of voices asked. “Why, she, of course,” said the Dodo, pointing to Alice with one finger; and the whole party at once crowded round her, calling out, in a confused way, “Prizes! Prizes!” Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a box of comfits (luckily the salt water had not got into it), and handed them round as prizes. There was exactly one a-piece, all round. So, according to Alice in Wonderland, a means by which to dry off.

Think it means voting bloc. For a particular party. Since this is a primary and they are voting for Presidential candidates. A caucus is whoever supports a particular candidate in a particular party. So, many caucuses. Potentially.

It is a vote. In the Iowa caucus anyone registered to vote can attend. You register with a political party usually dem/reb. You can only vote in your parties caucus.
The difference between a primary and caucus is that with a primary you just cast a ballet and leave like the general election. In a caucus you have to sit in a room with other people and actively discuss who should get elected and why -- sometimes for hours. In the republican caucus after discussions you cast a "secret" ballot. In the democrat caucus you must openly declare who you are voting for. In other words anyone with a real job/family is way too busy to deal with 3 hours of back and fourth before you can vote. So only really politically motivated people show up.... |

If you're in Yakima County, WA in 2012 you have the local GOP leader going up and down the line asking who the people are there to support. Anyone that said Ron Paul wasn't allowed in.
If you're in King County, WA the local GOP leader demanded that the Ron Paul campaign cut them a check to cover the insurance for the buildings rental or they would have to leave. All the Paul supporters ended up outside on a basketball court. In other words, it's nothing more than a "good ol boy network" that decides our candidate. |

It's when a group of people get together to pick their next elected leader. It stems from the old English "Cock Us" which is what was said when English peasants lined up and asked the Lord of the manor to fuck them in the ass as an honor.

Or does each particular "caucus" HAVE to come to a consensus, and the CAUCUS actually votes as a group? And how does it translate to delegates? |

Phonics is your friend
Cock-Ass Their cock your ass. Here in NV it is a clusterfuck of the worst order. To start with, they had a rule making session in August - in fucking Winnemucca MV. "They" are the faceless that run the republlicrat party in NV. If you feel like fighting with a bunch of RINO asswipes, and you can actually get through the door - be prepared for 4 hours of incredible stupidity. That's right - 4 fucking hours. If you don't support the management candidate (probably Jeb this year) they will tag-team you, browbeat you and use every strawman argument in the book. They will insult everything from your intelligence to your haircut if you don't agree with them. It looks like an intervention for any dissenter. The whole thing resembles a bad night in GD - without moderators. "They" are supposed to provide a ballot at the beginning of the meeting. While they followed that rule last time... there was NO Ballot Box - that would not be available until the meeting was over at 9pm. While unspoken, it was VERY clear that the results were preordained. So to have my vote go uncounted this year I will have to stay in a room full of assholes that are planning to "get in your face" to change my mind. . |
