Why do candidates like going to large cities and states with a lot of people?

There are several reasons. Basically it is so they can get more votes. It really depends on the main political influence of the state. Texas is a good example of this. Republicans always try to win Texas because they know it is a republican state and since it has so many people it has a lot of state votes. Nobody cares about the tiny states because their influence is virtually useless. States get a certain amount of votes based on population so candidates try to win the larger states to get a larger amount of votes.

How does the presidential primary or caucus work in each state and in the National Party Conventions?

ok I will try to make this short. The primaries and caucuses in an election years start in January and go until June. Each party gets one primary or caucus per state and assigns a number of delegates for each state. In a primary, Americans formally vote for their candidate and those with the most votes receive the most delegates. Exactly how and how many is determined by the party and the state. A caucus is less formal. The BEST way to explain it is in this video: http://www.whytuesday.org/2007/10/23/iow... The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention. If there are 10 candidates still left standing at the end of the primaries then they all go to the convention, however the primaries usually whittle down the choices to a few. Every party gets only ONE nominee for the general election.

Certainly. Candidates for president now, often start campaigning more than a year before the election, raising money and setting up an organization to try to win the primaries and get the nomination.
