As far as I'm concern, "King Caucus" in politics refers to the process taken to choose a candidate for each party for the national party convention. The origin of this name it is because of the undemocratic choice of the candidate; however you can find more information in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_nominating_caucus or in the Encyclopaedia Britannica: http://www.britannica.com/presidents/article-231545 I hope this can help you!

A caucus is a private meeting held by leaders before a general open meeting is held. An example of a caucus is the Democratic leaders meeting held before the National Convention.
A convention is a meeting where the political party names its candidate for presidential election. Running parties hold this convention.
