    How the Iowa Caucus works, One simple, One convoluted

    It should not be a surprise that the two Parties have differences in how they count caucus votes.

Republicans:

    You show up and cast a secret Ballot, the ballots are tallied and a winner is announced. Delegates are awarded proportionally by votes. A winner is announced.

Democrats:

    I cannot explain this better than my favorite left leaning journalist Chuck Todd from NBC's Meet the Press. You will need to watch the video. I warn you though, you need to get a pencil and write this down because it gets awfully confusing. One hint, ballots are not secret, which means others can see who you stand far. Does that sound a bit like the College Professor recently? "Hey I need a little muscle here"!

   Naturally there is an advertisement first.
