First of all Caucus is spelled incorrectly in the question. No there are seven caucus states for 2008. The number can change from year to year. A state can either have a caucus or a primary election, they are two different methods for selecting a candidate for each party. Some states traditionally have a caucus from year to year, New Hampshire and Iowa being two great examples. For 2008, Five of the Seven Caucus states are: Minnesota North Dakota Iowa New Hampshire Nevada
Iowa doesnt have a primary because it is usually the bigger states who have primaries, the smaller states usually get together to decide the states candidate, which is what a caucus is.
