The first caucus was held in Iowa and now the rest of the primaries and caucuses are kicking off. These early battles between candidates are important because this is when each party’s nominee is selected. The result of each caucus and primary bind a certain number of delegates to each candidates’s name, and the more delegates a candidate has, the better chance they have of winning the nomination and, obviously, the presidency.
