As part of WWE’s “Rock the Caucus” efforts, WWE.com talks with Maria Kanellis about today’s Iowa caucuses. A notable excerpt:
Maria:
Oh, caucus. Well, there was the time we were in Arizona, and I accidentally sat on one during this nature hike in the desert, and the needles went right up my…WWE.com:
No, no, no. Not cactus. Caucus, C-A-U-C-U-S.Maria:
Oh. I see. Yeah, I know a little about that.WWE.com:
Care to share?Maria:
Actually, the word “caucus†is derived from an Algonquin word meaning “gathering of tribal chiefs,” and the main crux of the caucus system today is indeed a series of meetings. Since 1972, the Iowa caucus has been the first major electoral event of the nominating process for President of the United States. In short, people in Iowa who are registered with the two major political parties – Democrats and Republicans – gather together with people of their own party to debate the merits of their party’s individual candidate. After debate, delegates are elected to represent the people nationally. Eventually, these delegates will represent Iowa at their political party’s National Convention and help to elect their party’s presidential nominee. It’s actually a little more complicated than that, but you get the idea.
