US Primaries/Caucuses Explained

(From Ken Halla's US Government Teachers Blog)
This video will help you keep the nuts and bolts of the nominating process in mind while keeping the score of the GOP Road to the White House through the Primaries and Caucuses.

Remember that each state, and each national party, have their own rules of the road. Its a good example of how elections in the US are truly a concept of federalism. Also, how the primaries and caucuses have replaced party conventions in the nominating process.
