Merced Housing market ends ’07 on slide

Caucus – What the hell’s a caucus?
So the Iowa caucus’s are now done, with Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama being the winners.
The Iowa caucus are the first step in the process of choosing the presidential nominee’s for each of the 2 national parties here in the USA. It is not a ballot election but more of a number of gatherings where each gathering debates the merits of each candidate and eventually forming a quorum and choosing a candidate. It is a very unique process, something that many here in the US do not fully understand.
I found this good website explaining the caucus process.
