Seriously? No thread on the Iowa caucuses yet?

Why is Paul even worrying about Huntsman. He is a non starter. Focus Paul....
 
So, I'm clearly no political aficionado, but can someone give me the retard version of why we're having all of these Caucus votes? What do they accomplish and why is it only in a few states? And why are they doing them a year before the election?

I could actually wiki/google this, but I'd like to know the JF version. I like the way you smart people talk, yar.

They are trying to determine who the republican in the presidential race will be. As for why these exact states are first...well no better reason then they always have been. I am not a particular fan of the system. All of the states vote eventually and a big day is "Super Tuesday" which is on March 6th. 10 states vote that day. The last state to vote is Utah, June 26th.

Some states have caucuses and some have primaries. Primaries are straight up votes. Caucuses are little conventions were they have speaches and what not then vote. they are all grouped together so there is little privacy.

That is the first thing I tried to see as well. I think the scenario I laid out is probably what will happen. Not claiming I am a Romney guy I am just saying I think that is how it will go down.

"Trout is this big if he's an inch!", said the Presidential Hopeful at a press conference in Salt Lake City, where he hopes to wrangle the Mormon vote from hopefuls Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, Jr. "I know that times are changing and Salt Lake City is one of the cities that is leading the charge for human rights and civil liberties" Santorum said to a crowd of nearly ten thousand cheering supporters. "I am honored and humbled that for a few short hours, I really got to know Trout T. Troutbum." The aspiring leader then spent the next twenty minutes explaining, in great detail, the shape, size, length, and girth of Mr. Troutbum, while also giving the crowd a mental erection by detailing the "extraordinarily unique" Somalia-shaped birthmark that adorns Mr. Troutbum's taint.
